Answer:
A general line can be represented as , y= m x + c
And general equation of circle is , ax²+by²+2 g x +2 f y +c=0
Now there are following possibilities
1. A line and circle have no common point of intersection, that is no solution.
2. A line may be a tangent to a circle, that is one common point, one solution.
3. A line may intersect a circle maximum at two points, that is 2 solution.
Image is depicted below.
