Combining 1 and 2 we can say that line might cross through the circle or be tangential to the circle. Not sure if we can say tangents intersect the circle. What is the OA ? Can some experts help to solve this ?
The answer is indeed E. Stm(1) nothing about the line, Stm(2) nothing about the circle. Now, sketch the coordinate plane on your paper with a circle centered at (0,0). With a radius of 3, it will have intersects at (0,3), (0,-3), (3,0) and (-3,0). Now draw the point (3,3) - you will see that this is actually OUTSIDE the circle, NOT on the edge (the question is trying to trick you). To confirm, the distance from the point (3,3) to the origin (0,0) = sqrt(3^2 + 3^2) = sqrt(18) = 3sqrt(2) so LONGER than the radius of 3.
Hope this helps!
