Problem 1- Determine the slope of the line represented by the Lineweaver-Burk equation.

What is the slope of the line represented by the Lineweaver-Burk equation?

Recall the Lineweaver-Burk equation,

1/V = (Km + [S])/Vmax[S] = (km/vmax)(1/[S]) + 1/vmax.

Km

C.

 

D.

 

Vmax

E.

 

F.

 

G.

 

Problem 2- Determine the 1/V-intercept of the Lineweaver-Burk equation.
