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.

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.
