Answer:

A line that comes closet to data in the coordinate plane is called the line of best fit.

Explanation:

A line of best fit ( also called as a trend line) is a straight line that best represents the data on a scatter plot.

This line may pass through some of the points, none of the points or all of the points.

Hence, A line that comes closest to data in the coordinate plane is called the line of best fit.
