It is a tangent line
That is a tangent line.
Yes. The related link shows the procedure with pictures. Basically, draw a circle with the compass, then without changing the compass, put the point somewhere on the circle and make a small mark which intersects the circle. Now put the point at this intersection, and make another mark with the circle. Keep going until you have 6 marks, then take your straight edge and connect the marks.
A tangent of a circle is a straight line that touches the circle at only one point.
