The regression line is the predicted y for each x; the scatter plot shows the actual value.
Heres an example in a different context:

It aims to estimate a linear relationship, so even if there is a clear nonlinear relationship, a linear regression will miss it.
Compare
and
How does the greater noise in the relationship between Y2 and X show
up in your regression output?
The estimate is shown to be less precisely estimated: it has a much
larger standard error.
Note, the OLS coefficient on x in a model of y2 shows a much
smaller relationship: 0.25 is the coefficient, even though there is a
very strong (nonlinear) relationship between the two variables.
Not required here: You could regress y on x and x-squared.
The correlation between X is zero by assumption and the
computer makes it so. This does not mean that the correlation
between X and the true error in the model, , is zero.
