Some non-linear equations in a regression can be transformed into linear equations or at least an equation that can be approximately linear, using transformations such as the power transformations. However, it is not possible to transform all non-linear equations to linear approximations using the power transformations.
Thus, the statement “It is not always possible to find a power transformation of the response variable or the predictor variable (or both) that will straighten the scatterplot.” is True.
