What is a Line Plot?
So what is a line plot?
A line plot is a plot in the form of a series of data points connected by straight line segments. It is one of the most basic type of chart and is common in many fields not just data science.
The more important question is when to use line plots. The best use case for a line plot is when you have a continuous dataset and you're interested in visualizing the data over a period of time.
