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.
When the data points on a line graph do not fall along a straight line, it is referred to as a nonlinear relationship. This indicates that the relationship between the variables is more complex, potentially involving curves or other shapes rather than a simple linear correlation. Nonlinear patterns can arise from various factors, such as exponential growth, quadratic relationships, or cyclical trends.
