And we can just extrapolate in a straight line We before saw some examples where I had an algorithm to generate points, and we fit a curve to it, used the curve to predict future points and discovered it was nowhere close.

我们可以干脆用一条直线来描述它,我们之前看到在一些例子中,我用一个算法去生成一些点，然后用一条曲线对它进行拟合，然后用这条曲线来预测未来的点,最后却发现结果完全不对。
