The graph shows the amount of money spent (y-axis) per person (x-axis) who enter a baseball park. What is a reasonable Domain of this function?

Does it make sense to connect the dots?

The reasonable domain for this function would be the number of people entering the baseball park, which is a non-negative integer. It would not make sense to have a negative number of people entering the park, so the domain would start at 0 and extend to a reasonable upper limit.

It may or may not make sense to connect the dots on the graph, depending on the context and what the data represents. If the data points represent discrete values for different numbers of people entering the park, it may not make sense to connect the dots as the function may not be continuous. However, if the data represents a continuous relationship between the number of people entering the park and the amount of money spent per person, it may make sense to connect the dots to show the overall trend.
