Why doesn't the data points always fall on the line you draw on a graph?

There can be a few reasons. One reason is that the line is wrong, either it has been placed wrong or it is the wrong type of line (linear when it should be exponential) there may even be no line to fit the pattern. Another reason is that simply the real world data points don't fit a correlation exactly, this is why the line is referred to as a "line of best fit" it is the best representation from the data points. One last reason is that the data is wrong either by a plotting error or some other error in the data collection.
