A tangent to a circle is defined as a line that intersects the circle at exactly one point. This point is known as the point of tangency.

AI explanation

A tangent is a straight line that approaches and touches a curve, in this case a circle, without actually crossing it. It meets the boundary of the circle at exactly one single point of contact. Therefore, the tangent touches the circle at only 1 point.
