Answer

See the sketch below.

Work Step by Step

To sketch this graph, we can use the same data from the previous problem at which $$I=\dfrac{V_B-V_D}{R}$$ where $V_B=2\;\rm V$, and $V_D=0.65\;\rm V$ as we figured it out there. Now solving for $R$; $$R=\dfrac{2-0.65}{I}$$ Now we can sketch this resistance as a function of current, as we see in the figure below. Noting that the data, in the graph below, are not accurate.
