V=(row*I*L)/A+k
put this into y=mx+c
V=y 
L/A=x
(row*I)=m
 
so as u have found the gradient from the graph.. put that into (row*I)=m ..u wil find I

then by using this I value put it into the 1st equation ( V= (row*I*L)/A + k
and you wil find k

hope it helps

just use the y=mx+c

to find gradient use

m= y2-y1/x2-x1

for example y2=10 y1=4 so   y2-y1=6..

and the same thing goes for the x..

C the y-intercept.. I usually just see where it cuts the Y-axis.. but if you can find the equation of the line then you should be able to find the y-intercept.

y-y1=m(x-x1) equation to find a line.. I like using this one.. Hope it helped
