A chord is a line segment whose endpoints lie on a circle. A secant is a line (or line segment) that intersects a circle in two places, endpoints NOT on the circle.


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 segment that intersects with two points on a circle is called what?

A line segment that intersects with or joins two points on a circle is called a chord.


What is a line that intersects a circle in two places?

It's called a chord. The longest chord is known as the diameter.


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 do you call the line that intersects the circle at two points?

A straight line that intersects a circle's circumference at two points will create a chord of which the circle's diameter is its largest chord.

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
