In mathematics terms the difference between graph and trend

is that graph is a diagram displaying data, in particular one showing the relationship between two or more variables; specifically, for a function f(x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n), the set of all tuples (x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n, f(x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n)) while trend is a line drawn on a graph that approximates the trend of a number of disparate points.

In transitive terms the difference between graph and trend

is that graph is to draw a graph while trend is to cause to turn; to bend.
