If a straight line intersects with a curve how many points do they have in common?
Billmota
It depends what kind of curve you're talking about. if it's a circle, and the line is tangent to the circle, then one. If it's a circle, and the line is not tangent to the circle, then two. But if it's a goofy shaped curve then it could be any number. But the most likely answer to your question is 2.

Which is a secant?
Secant is a straight line that intersects a curve at two or more points
What is the name for Two lines that converge but never meet?
An asymptote is a straight line that a curve approaches but never intersects.
The point at which a curve intersects a coordinate axis?
It is called an intercept.
How is a frequency curve in statistics different from a frequency polygon?
In order to plot the points on either the frequency polygon or curve, the mid values of the class intervals of the distribution are calculated. Then the frequencies with respect to the mid points are plotted. However in a frequency curve the points are joined by a smooth curve, where as in a frequency polygon the points are joined by straight lines. Apart from this major difference, a frequency polygon is a closed figure where as the frequency curve is not.
If a right circular cone intersects a plane that runs parallel to the edge of the cone the result curve will be?
If a right circular cone intersects a plane that runs parallel to the edge of the cone the result curve will be a parabola, unless the intersection includes the vertex of the cone, in which case the intersection is a straight line. This is a conic section. Depending on the angle of the plane, the section will be a circle, an ellipse, a parabola, or two hyperboles.
Which is a secant?
Secant is a straight line that intersects a curve at two or more points
What is a straight line that intersects a curve?
A straight line that intersects a circle or curve at two points, but which has both end points outside the circle or curve is called a secant. A straight line that links two points on a circle or curve is called a chord. A straight line which touches a circle or curve at one point is called a tangent. A straight line that cuts a circle or curve at one point is a straight line.* For moving diagrams see Related links below this box.
What is a straight curve with no end points?
A circle.
What is the name for Two lines that converge but never meet?
An asymptote is a straight line that a curve approaches but never intersects.
A straight curve with no end points?
You had us baffled at "straight curve" . Could you mean if you start at the north pole, walk in a straight line, you will eventually get back to the north pole and round in a circle. Hence a straight line but no end points.
What is a curve?
A geometrical curve is defined as any set of points. Therefore, counter-intuitively, a straight line is also a geometrical curve.
Explain what happens when the demand curve intersects with the supply curve?
explain what happens inside curve sample
Whatdoes the word chord mean in math?
It is a straight line joining two different points on a curve which does not cross the curve between those two points.
In a competitive market the equilibrium price and quantity occur where?
When demand curve intersects the supply curve.
What is the difference between an arc and a chord?
If you take two distinct points on a curve, the arc is the part of the curve connecting the two points while the chord is the straight line connecting them.
What do you call a straight line joining two points on an arc curve or circle?
A chord.
The point at which a curve intersects a coordinate axis?
It is called an intercept.
