Yes, technically a curved line can be a line segment, a line in general is something that can be curved or straight
A line of best-fit.
Because the "best fit" line is usually required to be a straight line, but the data points are not all on one straight line. (If they were, then the best-fit line would be a real no-brainer.)
Plot straight line or curved graphs on the Cartesian plane Plot a line of 'best fit' for any correlation of given data Solve simultaneous equations when the coordinates intersect each other Transformations
one is straight and one is curved simple
A curved line is a line that is curved.

The line that minimized the sum of the squares of the diffences of each point from the line is the line of best fit.

The line of best fit does not have to pass through the 0 (origin) and rarely does
Finding the line of best fit is called linear regression.
A best-fit line is the straight line which most accurately represents a set of data/points. It is defined as the line that is the smallest average distance from the data/points. Refer to the related links for an illustration of a best fit line.
