That is technically known as a line segment.
The distance between two points (in 2 dimension) is calculated by:
If (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the two points, then the distance is sqrt((x1 - x2)2 + (y1 - y2)2)
If you have 3 dimensional, then just subtract and square the z coordinates, as well:
sqrt((x1 - x2)2 + (y1 - y2)2 + (z1 - z2)2)

Does a line have two end points?
No. A line segment has two endpoints and a finite length,and includes all points on the line between its endpoints.
What is a measure of a straight-line distance between two points called?
the measure of a straight-line distance between two points is called length.
What is the definition of length?
Length is the distance - in given units - between two points on a line.
What is the length of straight line path between two points called?
That's called the "distance" between the points.
What does the length of the line in a line chart represents the measurement or value?
Not necessarily. The length in a line chart will represent the Euclidean distance between two points.
