A district manager has 8 different stores. He wants to reward some of his employees by giving them a position as a manager in one of these stores. If he
has 5 qualified employees, how many ways can this be done?

Abit confused about what you mean, but i think you might be referring to slope intercept form: y = mx + bin that case b, or the y intercept is already given.(0,-1)find the slope by using the formulay2 - y1/x2 - x1the final slope will be 4/2, equivalent to 2.now your equation should look like thisy = 4/2x -1sorry if this didn’t you out!
