The answer depends on the context. In the context of a curve, a tangent is a straight line that touches the line without intersecting it. The antonym does not have a specific name because it could be a straight line that does not meet the curve at all, or it could be one that crosses the curve. Note that even a tangent can cross the curve at some other [distant] point(s).
