Secant line Secant line In geometry, a secant of a curve is a line that intersects the curve in at least two (distinct) points. The word "secant" comes from the Latin word "secare", meaning "to cut". In the case of a circle, a secant will intersect the circle in exactly two points and a chord is the line segment determined by these two points, that is the interval on a secant whose endpoints are these points. A straight line can intersect a circle in two, one or zero points. A line intersecting in two points is called a "secant line", in one
Outer Circle railway line on the site. A documentary film is currently being produced by a Melbourne-based media production team led by Ron Killeen and Andrew McColm. When complete, currently projected to be around July 2014, it should provide an excellent resource about the history of this line.
