Why should you draw a smooth line that reflects the general pattern rather than automatically connect the data points?

A line of best fit emphasizes the overall trend shown by all the data taken as a whole whereas if you just "connect the dots", the lines could be all over the place.

Why should you draw a smooth line that reflects the general pattern rather than simply connect the data points?
If the question is about a scatter plot, the the data points will be not be located on a straight line but will be displaced by a random element. Connecting the points will give a zigzag line which will fit all the data point exactly but will be of little use in terms of explanatory or predictive value. A smooth line will.
What is a general pattern?
A general pattern is a number case with variables. EXAMPLE:10% of n= 10 over 100(wich would be a fraction)
What is the definition of general pattern in math?
Things in an Algebraic expression that occur every time and do not change. Parts that are not in a general pattern are usually represented by variables.

A general pattern of a scatter plot?
There is no such thing as a general pattern. Depending on the variables and the relationship between them, you can have points all over the plot, exactly on a straight line or a curve, or close to such a line or curve.
A smooth line that reflects the general pattern in a graph?
The line that reflects the general pattern of a graph is called a trend line.
When graphing why should you draw a smooth line that reflects the general pattern rather than automatically connect the data points?
If you want to draw a good graph, draw a smooth curve. If you just draw straight lines connecting the points, depending on which points you pick, you could get a really inaccurate graph. So, always plot a lot of points before drawing a line, and draw a smooth line!
