In a data plot most of the data points will lie below the line of best fit?
If most of them lie below the line, then that line isn't the best fit. The exact layout depends on what definition you use for "best fit", but any definition will produce a line that has roughly the same number of data points on each side of it.
Is the best fit line the same as the line of best fit?
Yes but phrased differently
What is a line that is not a line but is almost a line?
A line of best-fit.
Why does best fit line does not touch all data points?
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.)
What is the process of finding line of best fit called?
Finding the line of best fit is called linear regression.
