A straight line joining points on a circle is called a "chord" of that circle. If the line happens to pass through the center of the circle, then it's a "diameter" of that circle. The question asked about "points" on a circle, so two points on the circumference of that circle are being considered. (No line can join more than two points of a circle.)

You are a straight line that join 2 points on the circumference of a circle?
The name of a straight line joining two points on the circumference of a circle is a chord.If the line passes through the the centre of the circle it is called a diameter
Is a Chord in geometry?
A chord is a straight line joining two points on the circumference of a circle.
What is a straight line joining any 2 points on an arc or curve or circle?
If the straight line crosses two points of a circle and goes through the center of the same circle it is the diameter. If these conditions are not met it is a chord.
What joins two points on a circle?
A chord and the diameter is the largest chord of a circle. A2. Remember, the circle is the bit inside the curved line, NOT the curved line. [A circle is bounded by ... .] From any two points on a circle, you could erect a variety of lines, of which the shortest for any given quest would be a straight line. The other natural line joining two points would be the arc joining two points on the perimeter of a circle. * * * * * Actually, I believe that a circle IS the curved line. A circle is defined as the locus of all points that are at a constant distance from a fixed point (the centre). This is the boundary of the circle, not its interior.
Is a diameter also a chord with reason...?
Yes because a chord is a straight line joining any two points on the circumference of circle and the diameter is the largest chord in a circle
