The relation between X any Y is highly, but not perfectly, linear over the range that you have plotted data.
It has nothing to do with Beer's law, which describes the exponential attenuation of radiation.
I have a graph plotted which makes a straight line (linear graph)
The points are as follows
X , Y
(.25, 0.593)
(.50, 1.161)
(.75, 1.762)
(1.0, 2.348)
I need to determine the linear range.
Also, can Beer's Law be applied?

Still confused. How do you write out the linear range of a set of data points.
R=???
R=???
You seem to be confusing a lot of things. The quantity R describes the quality of a linear-regression straight-line fit to the data.
