A line graph in which the data points do not fall along a straight line is called a nonlinear line graph. This type of graph represents relationships that may involve curves or varying rates of change, indicating that the relationship between the variables is not constant. Nonlinear graphs can depict complex patterns, such as exponential growth or periodic fluctuations.
The line of a graph is quite often used to indicate the average of various data points that fall both above and below the line. Very jagged lines get smoothed out, but the trend is the same.
There are several possible answers: The line is actually meant to be a curved line and not a straight line. The relationship between the two variables is not a linear function. Discovering this can be one of the main reasons for drawing the graph. The data points are empirical measurements (from an experiment, for example) and there are errors associated with the observations. The errors may be systematic or random. You have made mistakes - either in recording the data or in plotting them.
