Lemme give it a try...
Circle: x² + y² = 1
(1) The x intercept of line k is greater than 1
y = mx + b
0 = m * GT(1) + b
When y is 0, x is greater than 1. But we can't determine if line K intersect circle C.
(2) The slope of line K is -1/10
y = -1/10x + b, we know that the line is a diagonal descending from left to right. But we still can't determine if line K intersect circle C
(3) Combined:
0 = -1/10x + b
0 = -x + 10b
-10b = -x
10b = x but we know that when y = 0 then x > 1 so:
10b = x > 1
10b > 1
b > 1/10
With this we know that the y intercept is greater than 1/10
If we draw a line from x-intercept to y-intercept we still can't be sure if line K intercepts circle C
IMO [spoiler](E)[/spoiler]
