It's true: a curve is a curve. Did you really need me to tell you that?
A line graph, probably.
Yes.
Scatter graphs. Line graphs may be used at a later stage when there is a better idea of the general shape of the line - whether it is a straight line, a quadratic curve, a logarithmic or exponential curve etc, or one of the standard probability distributions.
Regression techniques are used to find the best relationship between two or more variables. Here, best is defined according to some statistical criteria. The regression line is the straight line or curve based on this relationship. The relationship need not be a straight line - it could be a curve. For example, the regression between many common variables in physics will follow the "inverse square law".

The Production Possibilities frontier/curve
this curve is used a lot in gear design. This curve is used to get the gear tooth profile and when two gears of this profile mesh, the instantaneous contact point is only one and it moves along the curve profile. This property is known as line of action or line of Contact or pressure Line and this is why it is used extensively in gear design.
A line graph, probably.
Yes.
A line chart
A line tangent to a curve, at a point, is the closest linear approximation to how the curve is "behaving" near that point. The tangent line is used to estimate values of the curve, near that point.
It is false that the steeper the demand curve the less elastic the demand curve. The steeper line is used in economics to indicate the inelastic demand curve.

An imaginary line that follows the curve of the Earth is called a great circle. It represents the shortest distance between two points on the Earth's surface and is often used in navigation and mapping.
"Curve" and "bend" are sometimes used to mean similar things, yet both words have slightly different applications. "Curve" usually describes a smooth, even arching of a line. It often refers to something intentional (usually "bend" is used to describe something which was done accidentally such as in "I bent the hood of my car"). "Curve" is usually not used as a verb, whereas "bend" usually is. Example: "He bent the iron bar". Curve is used more often as a noun. Curve and bend can be used to describe similar things under limited contexts such as "There was a bend (or curve) in the road".
Slope of a Curve A number which is used to indicate the steepness of a curve at a particular point.The slope of a curve at a point is defined to be the slope of the tangent line. Thus the slope of a curve at a point is found using the derivative
