There are times when there is no logic in doing so.
For example, suppose you had a graph of the heights and weights of a class of students. Each data point would be an ordered pair representing the height and weight of a particular student. What, if anything, would a line connecting one student to the next represent?
If you had a formula you would plug numbers in for the variables and solve for the other variables create a list of coordinates (data points). Next you would graph those points and connect the dots.
If the variables are something continuous, then you should connect the points. For example, if it is your height and weight then since those variables are continuous it is necessary to connect the points plotted on the coordinate graph.
that depends on what you are trying to do
(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.
A scatter plot would be best for non-related data points. A line graph would be best for related data points.
It depends on what you are trying to do.
When the data on the graph is continuous,it does make sense to connect the points on the graph of 2 related variables.
yes
the points on a bar graph are not connected to each other.
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.

No.If the points on the graph are connected then they are already connected so it would be complete waste of time to connect them.
Because their is no lines on the graph to connect the point.
A scatter plot would be best for non-related data points. A line graph would be best for related data points.
