No. A tangent touches the circle at exactly one point. A line that intersects a circle at exactly two points is a secant.

Line intersecting a circle in two points?

A line can be tangent to a circle in which case it intersects it in one point, it can intersect it in two points, or no points at all. So the choices are 0,1 or 2.


What is the relationship between a triangle, a circle, and a chord that intersects the circle at exactly 7 points?

In geometry, a chord is a line segment that connects two points on a circle. If a chord intersects a circle at exactly 7 points, it means the chord passes through the circle and touches it at 7 different points. This relationship between a triangle, a circle, and a chord with 7 points of intersection is a geometric concept that demonstrates the properties of circles and their chords.


A line that intersects a circle in two points?

A chord line intersects a circle at two points of which the circle's diameter is its largest chord.


A line segment that intersects with two points on a circle is called what?

A line segment that intersects with or joins two points on a circle is called a chord.

If a straight line intersects with a curve how many points do they have in common?

It depends what kind of curve you're talking about. if it's a circle, and the line is tangent to the circle, then one. If it's a circle, and the line is not tangent to the circle, then two. But if it's a goofy shaped curve then it could be any number. But the most likely answer to your question is 2.


What do you call the line that intersects the circle at two points?

A straight line that intersects a circle's circumference at two points will create a chord of which the circle's diameter is its largest chord.


What is a straight line that intersects a curve?

A straight line that intersects a circle or curve at two points, but which has both end points outside the circle or curve is called a secant. A straight line that links two points on a circle or curve is called a chord. A straight line which touches a circle or curve at one point is called a tangent. A straight line that cuts a circle or curve at one point is a straight line.* For moving diagrams see Related links below this box.
