F-15 wingtips

Could anyone explain to me the reason why the wing span at the leading edge of the F-15 wing is greater than the trailing edge. I appreciate that many fighter aircraft of the 70s-00s were designed to incorporate wing tip mounted hardpoints which obviously constrains the wing design options. Does the F-15’s wingtip imbue any particular aerodynamic improvements?
