When the data on the graph is continuous,it does make sense to connect the points on the graph of 2 related variables.
It makes sense to connect the points on a graph when the variable ont the x axis (bottom line) is able to be split, ex. time
(it makes sense to connect the points on a graph wen there is movement....or so u can see it more cearly)--BreeBree..... hope i helped!! OR you could connect the points when it is a continuous thing.
There are a number of situations when it does not make sense. Among these, the two main reasons are:The variable along the x-axis is nominal (categorical) or ordinal.The variable along the y-axis is not continuous.
When the graph is continues, and it doesn't drop... when it moves at a steady rate and doesn't go up, down or in an other direction only strait in a diagonal line. :)
Connecting the dots in a graph can create the impression of continuous data points, which may not be accurate if the data is discrete or if there are gaps in the data. It's important to accurately represent the data without adding any assumptions that could mislead the interpretation. Connecting the dots can make it harder to see the individual data points and trends.
They make points in space related to each other. Now they are connected in the problem, instead of just points on the graph.
any points along the line described by the equation x=anything will give you a vertical line on a graph
A line allows you to better visualize the trend of the graph.
They are used to map points on a graph and are used to make real maps as well as graph probabilities and distances.
Graph can be used in a variety of sentences that make sense, say like, "When you want to graph prices at a store monthly or yearly, use a line graph."
