One would say that this is the definition of a line, however, your question says "A straight path of points" and a line only have one point but no end. So it may be a line or may be considered infinite points.
A set of points on a straight line are called 'collinear points'.
A straight line joining points on a circle is called a "chord" of that circle. If the line happens to pass through the center of the circle, then it's a "diameter" of that circle. The question asked about "points" on a circle, so two points on the circumference of that circle are being considered. (No line can join more than two points of a circle.)
Collinear points are points on the same straight line.
2 points
a perfectly straight line
pulse points?

Three or more points are collinear if they lie on the same straight line.Three or more points are collinear if they lie on the same straight line.Three or more points are collinear if they lie on the same straight line.Three or more points are collinear if they lie on the same straight line.

Uranus. It has an axis that often points almost straight at the Sun, during its orbit around the Sun.
That is considered a segment since lines are continuous in both directions, and rays are continuous in one direction.
Points cannot be parallel to other points. A straight line joining two points is parallel to a straight line joining another pair of points if the gradient (slope) of the two lines is the same.
