There is no specific name for it since the curve is not specified. The curve could be a conic section (circle, ellipse, parabola, hyperbola), or a trigonometric function, or a polynomial, exponential, etc. Or a combination of these.

A plane figure cannot be bounded by only one straight line. If the shape is bounded by lines which are not straight or by several straight lines the answer will depend on exactly what these are.

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.
