Is this graph ok? ImageUploadedByStudent Room1421164553.777628.jpg

The point for 1.3 and 4.3 is not quite in the correct place.

Doesn't look like you've used a ruler. Other than that, the axis are labelled correctly, looks good.
Thanks @stonebridge and @lerjj I was thinking of a Non - Ohmic graph where it has to be curved haha!! I was confused why it wasn't curving but yeah I'll straighten it up thanks! :smile:

ohm's law is V=IR to work out r it is R=V/I your graph is I against V so when you work out gradient you'll be doing I/V which =1/R.

IMO you've plotted it the wrong way round. V should be on y-axis and I should be on x-axis
Yes it's normally plotted with V on the vertical axis, but it's a straight line in either case if Ohm's Law is obeyed.
