The values of current I flowing in a given resistor for the corresponding values of potential difference V across the resistor are given below –

I (amperes)   0.5   1.0   2.0   3.0    4.0
V (volts)        1.6   3.4   6.7   10.2  13.2

Plot a graph between V and I and calculate the resistance of that resistor.
