A line joining two points on a circle is called a chord. A chord is a straight line segment whose endpoints lie on the circle. The longest chord in a circle is called the diameter, which passes through the center of the circle. Chords play a significant role in geometry and trigonometry when studying circles and their properties.

A line joining two points on the circle?
A secant line.
What do you call a straight line joining two points on an arc curve or circle?
A chord.
Is the radius of a circle a chord also?
No. A chord is a straight line joining two points on the circumference of a circle whereas a radius joins only one point on the circumference to the circle centre. A diameter is a straight line joining two points on the circumference (via the circle's centre) and so is also a chord. (Yes, but the question is about a radius, not a diameter!)
What is the locus of points equidistant from two points?
The perpendicular bisector of the straight line joining the two points.
A tangent line is a line that intersects a circle at exactly two points?
No. A tangent touches the circle at exactly one point. A line that intersects a circle at exactly two points is a secant.
A line joining two points on the circle?
A secant line.
What is a straight line joining points on a circle?
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.)
What is a line segment joining any two points on a circle?
It is a chord of which the circle's diameter is the largest
A chord of a circle?
A line segment joining two points on the circumference of a circle and the diameter is the largest chord in a circle.
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.
What do you call a straight line joining two points on an arc curve or circle?
A chord.
What is the name of a straight line joining any two points on the circumference of a circle?
Tangent
What is a line segment joining the two points of a circle is called?
That's called a chord.
Is a Chord in geometry?
A chord is a straight line joining two points on the circumference 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
Does a segment joining any two points on the circle?
Only round the perimeter of the circle (not across its interior) because a segment is a part of a line or curve between two points.
What is cord of a cIRCLE?
A chord is a line joining two points on the circumference the largest chord being the diameter.
