need an urgent help on filament bulb topic

hi everyone
i am getting stuck in this assignment on question related to filament bulb.

the question goes like: is resistance and gradient inverse to one another in filament bulb and when looking at the graph (which is a curve graph)..
we need to explain on how
i could do it for nichrome wire since it had a straight line.
if you could jus tell me on how to show it and brief explanation i would be very grateful.

cheers
mani

sorry for being clear. hope this one will be clearr enough.
graph is used to calculate the gradient so the question asks can you find the resistance using 1/m (1/gradient) n r they inverse to one another
 


okay thank you. here you go.

Yes sure, you can always calculate R given V and I.
The only doubts is if you want the resistance for small changes or not.
