What do you call line segment in a circle?
A. If the line segment touches two points on the circle it is called as: 1. secant; if the line extends outside the circle. 2. chord; if the line is present only within the circle. B.

tough to answer, but if slope is only provided then it should intercept at (0,0). Such as, y=3x, that intercepts at 0.
What line meets the circle at exactly one point?
The tangent line. A secant line hits the circle in two places and forms a cord, but the tangent line only hits the circle in one point and is always perpendicular to the radius of the circle which exists at that point.
