Options

  • resistivity

  • resistance

  • electric potential

  • none of these

Solution

Resistance

Explanation:

For a graph of potential difference against current, the slope is $$\frac{V}{I}$$, which equals resistance. Resistivity is a property of the material, while electric potential is not the slope of this graph.
