You can see this most easily by simply drawing the circle and then the lines that would fit the clues given.

1. The equation of the unit circle described is x^2 + y^2 = 1 - draw this.

Clue a.
2. Draw a line that crosses the x axis at 1/2. No matter what slope, it must intercept the circle.
3. Draw a line that crosses the x axis at 20 and is perpendicular to the x axis. It will never intercept the circle.

Clue B.

4. Looking at the same two drawings above, if the x-intercept is 1/2 you intersect the circle no matter what the slope so you can have a slope of - 1/10 and intersect the circle.
5. Looking at the second drawing, with an x intercept of 20, your equation becomes 0 = (-1/10)*(20) + b.
the y intercept is then +2 and the line passes above the circle.

Looking at the two together, as in steps 4 and 5 you still get both a yes and a no. The information is insufficient.

Clue b is simply the slope of hte line. Draw a line with a -1/10 slope and then draw several lines parallel to it. You will see that some of them will intersect your circle and some will not.
