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.
Secant is a straight line that intersects a curve at two or more points
An asymptote is a straight line that a curve approaches but never intersects.
The point at which a curve crosses itself is called a "cusp" or a "self-intersection." In a self-intersection, the curve intersects itself at some point, while a cusp refers to a point where the curve has a sharp point or corner. These points can have important implications in the study of the curve's properties and behavior.
It is called an intercept.
Points of tangency do not act as the endpoints of secant lines. A secant line intersects a curve at two points, while a tangent line touches the curve at exactly one point without crossing it. Therefore, while a point of tangency is a single contact point on the curve, it does not fulfill the requirement of being an endpoint for a secant line.
Secant is a straight line that intersects a curve at two or more points
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.
A circle.

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.
A geometrical curve is defined as any set of points. Therefore, counter-intuitively, a straight line is also a geometrical curve.
It is a straight line joining two different points on a curve which does not cross the curve between those two points.

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.
