If a line intersects a circle at exactly one point, it is a tangent to that circle
The point where the tangent line intersects a circle?
A tangent line touches the circumference of a circle at just one point but it does not intersect the circle.
A line in the plane of a circle that intersects a circle at exactly one point is called a?

A line that intersects a circle in exactly one point?
That's a tangent.
True or false a tangent is a line that intersects a circle at exactly one point?
True
The place where a tangent line intersects a circle?
Point of Tangency
What is the point at which the tangent intersects the circle?
The tangent line intersects the circumference of a circle at just one point.
Which statement follows logically from the statement If a line is tangent to a circle then it intersects the circle at exactly one point?
If a line intersects a circle at exactly one point, it is a tangent to that circle
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.
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 that intersects a circle at exactly one point?
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. ]
