The line wrapping really distorted your data table.

Do you want the left column on the Y axis and the right column(s) on the
X? Charting is normally facilitated if the X data is further left. Also,
all series in a line chart use the same X axis values, and the values
are treated as equally spaced, even if they are not evenly spaced
numerically. So you may want to use an XY Scatter chart instead (which
can of course be formatted with lines connecting the points).

You don't need to rearrange the data even if it means more work. Try
this procedure.

Select an empty cell surrounded by other empty cells, and start the
chart wizard. In step 1 select XY Scatter for chart type, with whatever
subtype you like. In step 2, choose the Series tab, click on Add, then
using the selection boxes, choose the X and Y ranges and name for the
first series. Click Add again and repeat this for the second series, and
for as many series as you have to plot..
