What do you call the line that intersects the circle at two points?
A straight line that intersects a circle's circumference at two points will create a chord of which the circle's diameter is its largest chord.
What is a line in the plane of a circle that intersects the circle at two points?
tangent
A line that intersects a circle at exactly two points?
A chord
What is difference between chord and secant?
a chord is a line segment and its endpoints are on the circle. a secant line is a "line" (meaning it is continuous and has no end points) that intersects a circle (in two places if that's not obvious). > > > Beans63
Is a secant a line or segment that passes through a point on the circle and the center of the circle?
A secant is a line that passes through a point on the circle and the center of the circle. It intersects the circle at two different points.
A line that intersects a circle in two points?
A chord line intersects a circle at two points of which the circle's diameter is its largest chord.
A segment with endpoints on a circle?
A chord is a line segment whose endpoints lie on a circle. A secant is a line (or line segment) that intersects a circle in two places, endpoints NOT on the circle.
What is a line called that intersects a circle at one point?
A tangent line. A line that intersects a circle at two points is a secant.
A line segment that intersects with two points on a circle is called what?
A line segment that intersects with or joins two points on a circle is called a chord.
What is a line that intersects a circle in two places?
It's called a chord. The longest chord is known as the diameter.
A tangent line is a line that intersects a circle at exactly two points?
No. A tangent touches the circle at exactly one point. A line that intersects a circle at exactly two points is a secant.
