Explanation:

Hi there!

0

It is possible for a line and a circle to not intersect at all.

1

It is also possible for a line and a circle to meet at one point only. They would be tangent to each other and touch.

2

Finally, it is possible for a line to intersect the circle. They would appear overlapping. In any of these cases where a line intersects a circle, they would have crossed the circle at two points.

3

A line and a circle can only have a total number of 2 intersection points.

I hope this helps!
