Circle and Line Intersections

The video tutorial covers the intersections of circles and lines, explaining the three possible scenarios: no intersection, one intersection, and two intersections. It demonstrates how to graph these intersections and solve them algebraically using quadratic equations. The tutorial includes step-by-step examples to reinforce the concepts and provides tips for checking solutions algebraically.

What are the possible number of intersection points between a circle and a line?

• One, two, or three

• Zero, one, or two

• One, two, or four

• Zero, one, or three

What is the term used when a circle and a line touch at exactly one point?

• Tangent

• Secant

• Chord

• Diameter

When graphing a circle, what information is needed?

• Center and radius

• Diameter and circumference

• Area and perimeter

• Chord and tangent

How do you solve for the equation of a line graphically?
