a secant is a line containing a chord. A secant is a line that intersects the circle twice(or passes through a circle)

A chord of a circle is a geometric line segment whose endpoints both lie on the circumference of the circle. A secant or a secant line is the line extension of a chord.
I am almost positive that it isn't because a secant is an extended chord so it goes out of circle. So no it is not.

A secant line.
The secant of a circle passes through the center of a circle sometimes
The tangent secant angle is the angle between the tangent to a circle and the secant, when the latter is extended.
Sometimes
Neither secant nor tangent pass through the center of a circle. A secant passes through one point on the circle and the tangent passes through two points on a circle.
Neither secant nor tangent pass through the center of a circle. A secant passes through one point on the circle and the tangent passes through two points on a circle.
A secant line is a line that cuts a circle in two places.
No, a secant line does not pass through the center of a circle. A secant line is a line that intersects a circle in two distinct points. Only a line passing through the center of a circle is called a diameter.
If one is, they all are!
A secant is a line that passes through a point on the circle and the center of the circle. It intersects the circle at two different points.

a secant of a circle
Any line that enters a circle (and is not a tangent) must cross its boundary twice; once to enter, once to exit. Since a secant is a line segment that joins two different points on a curve, such a line as above is a secant.
