Geometry, PV= n RT for R?

This is geometry for my Math 106 class, we went over perimeters and stuff in class, but not this stuff. What exactly does my professor want as an answer? and how do I find it?

Problem: PV = nRT for R

note: PV and R are capital letters.

    Your teacher wants the graph of the equation

    pV = nRT

    actually R is a constant. So its equation is y=mx

    which is of a straight line passing through origin

    This is Boyles Law for gases.

    Pressure times Volume equals number of moles of gas times Temperature and a factor, R.

    You can solve for R as PV / nT.
