Fixed Resistors

When an IV graph is plotted, a wire gives a straight line through the origin.The resistance of the wire does not change when the current changes.A fixed resistor at constant temperature would also give a straight line through the origin.The gradient is the reciprocal of the resistance.
gradient = 1/resistance
