Question

Circle P is shown. Line V U goes through center point P. Line P T goes from center point P to point T on the circle. Line S R goes through the circle. Line N Q intersects the circle at point Q.
Which statement is true?

N is a point of tangency on circle P.
PT is a secant of circle P.
Line S R is a secant of circle P.
VU is a tangent of circle P.

Answer 1

Line S R is a secant of circle P.

Reason: a secant intersects the circle in two points — the problem says S R "goes through the circle," so it meets the circle twice. PT is a radius (not a secant), VU passes through the center (a diameter line, not a tangent), and N is not the point of tangency (the line NQ meets the circle at Q).
