Hi viveksahay,

Graphing questions are a subset of Geometry and don't show up too often on Test Day (you might see 1 or 2). They're almost always easier to beat IF you DRAW a picture. In this question, I can't think of an easier way to figure out which lines intersect the circle at two points than by quickly drawing the 3 lines and "seeing" which lines intersect at 2 points.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
