The height of the land, and the scale of the map
A line is the locus of points such that the gradient (slope) between that point and one fixed point in the plane is a constant. Technically, that definition does not include a vertical line because its gradient is not defined! You could get around that this by requiring that either the gradient is a constant or, if it is undefined, then the inverse gradient (dx/dy) is constant.
Provided the run is not zero, rise/run gives the gradient, or slope, between two points.
Points: (2, 3) and (4, 7) Gradient or slope: change in y/change in x = (7-3)/(4-2) = 4/2 = 2
Positive correlation
Yes beccause: (y1-y2)/(x1-x2) = gradient

When the data on the graph is continuous,it does make sense to connect the points on the graph of 2 related variables.
When you have three collinear points there is one gradient. I'm not sure what your question is specifically but when points are collinear they have the same gradient.
The distance between two points must be known to determine the average slope between the two points. You must also know the change in elevation.
"Player" is the independent variable, and "Points" is the dependent variable.
No correlation. Answer provided by

If the points lie on a straight line through the origin, the two variables are in direct proportion.
no correalation
