Combinatorics question about putting a number of men and women in a line

The questions is: A group of people contains 5 men and 6 women. How many different lines can be formed using any 2 of the men and any 3 of the women?
I'm confused about how the selecting of a certain number of individuals out of the men and women affects the formula, along with whether the order matters in this.

Since they speak of lines, I'd assume that order mattered.

They want you to select two of the five men and three of the six women, then arrange the five people you have selected in a line. Order matters.
