------------------------
f(0) = 42 dollars
f(3) = 210 dollars
------------------
slope = (210-42)/(3-0) = 168/3 = $56
-----
Note:: The slope is the amount savings will increase
when the number of weeks increases by one.

As he now has $42, and will have $210 in 3 weeks, it follows that over the next 3 weeks, he will have deposited $168,
which means that 168%2F3, or highlight_green%28%22%24%2256%29 will be deposited each week
