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?

What does it mean to plot data points?
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.
Why do you connect points on a coordinate graph?
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.
When do you not connect the points on a graph?
that depends on what you are trying to do
In a coordinate graph of two related variables when does it make sense to connect points on a graph?
(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.
What type of graph would be best for data points?
A scatter plot would be best for non-related data points. A line graph would be best for related data points.
