Question

what is the difference between a tanget and secent
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A line that intersects a circle in exactly one point is called a tangent and the point where the intersection occurs is called the point of tangency. The tangent is always perpendicular to the radius drawn to the point of tangency. A secant is a line that intersects a circle in exactly two points.

Answer 2

Answer:

A secant line is a straight line joining two points on a function. A tangent line is a straight line that touches a function at only one point.
