As suggested, we will use a diagram that includes the circle and the line to decide what type of chord is the line to the circle.

The graph of the circle and the line is:

From the above graph, we get that the line is exterior to the circle and never touches it. Therefore, the line is not a tangent, a secant, or a secant that contains the diameter.

Answer:

None
