How many ways can an arc be tangent to 2 lines?
Although normally it is the line that is considered to be tangent to an arc, an arc can be tangent to infinitely many lines and so the answer to the question is: in infinitely many ways.
Difference between tangent and parallel lines?
parallel lines never touch, never get any closer or any further apart. tangent lines touch at one point
How many lines are tangent to a circle?
You can have a tangent line for every point on a circle, so the answer is theoretically infinite.
Difference between secant lines and tangent lines?
A secant line touches a circle at two points. On the other hand a tangent line meets a circle at one point.
Straight lines that touch but don't intersect a curve?
Tangent to the curve.
Do straight lines have tangent?
no

What is a theorem about two lines tangent to a circle at the endpoints of a diameter?
Two lines tangent to a circle at the endpoints of its diameter are parallel. See related link for proof.

Difference between secant lines and tangent lines?
A secant line touches a circle at two points. On the other hand a tangent line meets a circle at one point.
How many circles can be tangent to each of two intersecting lines?
Infinte
What is it called when lines line segments or rays meet at a point?
Tangent.
Straight lines that touch but don't intersect a curve?
Tangent to the curve.
What do you call straight lines crossing over each other?
Tangent.
Is a tangent a trigonometric ratio?
Tangent is used in calculus to compute the slope of a curve. Because curves do not have uniform slopes, unlike lines, their slopes change. A tangent is the slope of a curve at a specific point.
How many lines can be drawn through a given point on a circle that is tangent to the circle?
Infinite lines because a circle has infinite lines of symmetry.
