These days I would use constrained multivariable fit-to-data (using an
appropriate starting model guess, but allowing for expansion into more
complex models). Linear plots are OK for reactions that approximate
linearity, however much better accuracy can be achieved with nonlinear
fitting.

Now I have a question.
