Not necessarily. Often it is, but the line of best fit is simply an equation that closely matches the results. Therefore any line could be a line of best fit, linear, quadradic, or even cubic! The sky (and the results) are the limit.

What is the line graph in which the data points do not fall along a straight line?
a line of best fit
Does the line of best fit have to start from the origin?
The line of best fit does not have to pass through the 0 (origin) and rarely does
When the graph of best fit is a straight line the dependent and independent variables have what kind of relationship?
the dependent variable has one value and the independent variable has no value
How do you find a line of best fit from scatter plot?
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.
What is the purpose of a best fit line?
The best fit line is basically the average of a graph; it represents where, when, etc. the majority of the event occurred.
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.)
Which is the best equationof a line of best fit this scatterplot?
A straight line equation
What is a straight line that best fits the data on the coordinate plane?
The straight line that best fits the data on a coordinate plane is the Line Of Best Fit.
What is the line graph in which the data points do not fall along a straight line?
a line of best fit
What is a line graph in which the data points do not fall along a straight line is?
a line of best fit
What is A line graph in which the data points do not fall along a straight line?
a line of best fit
What is a graph in which the data points do not fall along a straight line?
a line of best fit
What is the straight line that comes closest to the points on a scatter plot?
line of best fit
What is a straight line that comes closest to the points on a scatter plot?
Line of best fit
Difference between line of best fit and curve of best fit?
one is straight and one is curved simple
What is a best-fit-line?
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.
What is the term for the straight line that comes closest to the points on a scatter plot?
"Line of best fit"
