assumming all points on the path are given in some (x,y) notation, you could say that a straight line is a group of points all "heading in the same direction", meaning that for every 2 consecutive points i and j, the ratio (Xj-Xi)/(Yj-Yi) (which is the slope) is the same, or close enough (be wary of rounding errors with floating numbers)
