Curves

Secant line

In geometry, a secant is a line that intersects a curve at a minimum of two distinct points.The word secant comes from the Latin word secare, meaning to cut. In the case of a circle, a secant intersects the circle at exactly two points. A chord is the line segment determined by the two points, that is, the interval on the secant whose ends are the two points. (Wikipedia).

What is the definition of a secant line

Learn the essential definitions of the parts of a circle. A secant line to a circle is a line that crosses exactly two points on the circle while a tangent line to a circle is a line that touches exactly one point on the circle. A chord is a line that has its two endpoints on the circle.
