Tangent
The tangent.
A tangent. And it does not need to be a circle - it can be any curve.
In geometry a straight line that touches a curve is called a tangent.
if it touches at three points it is a straight line. Since it is also an asymptote, it will be a straight horizontal line (zero slope)
A straight line from the center of a circle to the outer edge is called a radius.

A tangent is always perpendicular to the radius of a circle. A radius is a straight line going from the center of the circle to the circumference (edge) of the circle. A tangent is a straight line outside the circle that touched the circle at one (and only one) point. When a tangent touches the outside edge of the circle at the same point where a radius touches the edge of the circle, the angle between the radius and tangent line is 90 degrees meaning they are perpendicular.

A tangent line.
A straight line from the center of a circle to the outer edge is called a radius.
A tangent at that point where a straight line just touches a curve and a secant line when the straight line bisects the curve.
It is a straight line that touches the circle.
It is the tangent of the circle
An edge is a straight line as part of a polygon. It can also be the straight line joining two faces of a solid which has polygonal faces.
