Which is a secant?
Secant is a straight line that intersects a curve at two or more points
Does a secant line pass through the center of a circle?
No, a secant line does not pass through the center of a circle. A secant line is a line that intersects a circle in two distinct points. Only a line passing through the center of a circle is called a diameter.
What is the line that intersects a circle twice?
It is called a secant line
How is that any line intersecting the interior of a given circle is a secant of that circle?
Any line that enters a circle (and is not a tangent) must cross its boundary twice; once to enter, once to exit. Since a secant is a line segment that joins two different points on a curve, such a line as above is a secant.
What is a line called that contains a chord?
a secant of a circle
What is a secant of a circle?
a secant is a line containing a chord. A secant is a line that intersects the circle twice(or passes through a circle)

A line that contains a chord?
A secant!
A line joining two points on the circle?
A secant line.
What is the line that intersects a circle twice?
It is called a secant line
What does chord mean in math?
A chord of a circle is a geometric line segment whose endpoints both lie on the circumference of the circle. A secant or a secant line is the line extension of a chord.

What is a line segment bisecting a circle or sphere?
a secant
What is a line called that contains a chord?
a secant of a circle
A secant line is a line that intersects a circle at exactly one point?
false
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
