S1 = 72
S2 = 12 = 72*(1/6)
S3 = 2 = 72*(1/6)^2

S15 = 72*(1/6)^14 = 9.18*10^(-10)
The slope is 2. The y-intercept is 4.
Explanation:
The line constantly goes up to units for every unit that it goes to the right. The y intercept is 4 because it is 4 on the y-axis when x is 0.
Simple use the cuboid volume formula for each of them
Morgan should first take the 40% off then apply the $15 coupon
Lets say her total was $150.
If you take the 40% off first, you get $90
150 * .6 = 90 (since you are taking off 40% you are still paying the rest of the 60% so you can just save extra steps by multiplying by .6 and not .4)
Now you subtract 15 from that value.
90 - 15 = 75 If Morgan takes the 40% off first and then applies the $15 dollar coupon, she has to pay $75.
If she applies the $15 coupon first, her total before the 40% is $135
150 - 15 = 135
The total will come out to be $81
$135 * .6 = 81
If Morgan takes the discount first before applying the coupon she has to pay less and saves the most money.
