What is the resistance of insulating materials?

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.
