- Parallel, perpendicular, horizontal, and vertical linesfpc10.10.C.4 — Write equations of lines parallel or perpendicular to a given line, and equations of horizontal and vertical lines.
Arithmetic Sequences
- Common difference and the general termfpc10.10.C.5 — Identify the first term and common difference of an arithmetic sequence and use the general term to find any term.
- Connecting sequences to linear functionsfpc10.10.C.5 — Connect arithmetic sequences to linear functions, seeing the common difference as slope and the sequence as a discrete line.
Systems of Linear Equations
