That will depend on how you have defined "best fit".

-- If it means "maximizes the number of points that are right on", then you'll want to

jockey the line around so that as many data points as possible fall directly on it.

-- If 'best fit' means the sum of the distances by which the line misses all data points

is as small as possible, then very few of them may actually sit right on the line.
