OK—I see it in three dimensions better. But what’s wrong with connecting the dots with a line?

Yes - a line can be drawn through the dots. There are different ways to do it. The one that is most useful is a least squares line. That means all the dots are closest to the line in terms of their squared values. It sounds weird but with a visual it would be very clear.
