A line of best-fit.
The straight line that best fits the data on a coordinate plane is the Line Of Best Fit.
Yes but phrased differently
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.)
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.
Newton's First Law - objects stay at rest or move in a straight line at constant velocity if not forces are acting on it. (Paraphrased).
A line of best-fit.
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 straight line that best fits the data on a coordinate plane is the Line Of Best Fit.

The line of best fit is simply the line that shows the general direction of the graph. The trick is to make the line go through as many points on the graph as possible. Some scatter plots have no line of best fit.
A straight line which best describes the data on a scatter plot is called a "line of best fit". The line could pass through some of the points, all of them, or none of them.
A line of best fit is a technique used in statistics. It is a line that represents the relationship between data points showing two variables. It is "best" according to some user-specified criteria. The least squares regression line is the most popularly used line of best fit but it is not the only option.
