The common point is called the intersection.

Such a line is called a tangent line or a tangent to the circle. [Tangent is Latin for touching-- a tangent line touches the circle at just one point. ]
If a line intersects a circle at exactly one point, it is a tangent to that circle
A tangent line touches the circumference of a circle exactly at one point.
Intersecting lines.
Definition: a tangent is a line that intersects a circle at exactly one point, the point of intersection is the point of contact or the point of tangency. a tangent is a line that intersects a circle at exactly one point, the point of intersection is the (point of contact) or the **point of tangency**.
