Method of transformations:
The method of transformations is a commonly used technique to remedy the situation when one or more of the assumptions of the regression model are violated. The method of transformations involves finding a transformation of the response variable and/or the predictor variable, so that the assumptions of the regression model can be satisfied.
The method of transformations can help to straighten and obtain a exact linear equation for an intrinsically linear equation. In some cases, this method can also provide with a linear equation that is a pretty good approximation for equations even if they are not intrinsically linear. However, every possible scatterplot with curvature cannot be straightened by the method of transformation.
Thus, the statement is False.
