Question 1137629: The linear equation y=(k/v)x+1/v, (where k and v are constants) occur in the study of enzyme kinetics.
a.) find the x-intercept and the y-intercept of the line in terms of k and v.
b.) determine the values of k and v if the x-intercept is (-500,0) and the y-intercept is (0,25).

y=%28k%2Fv%29x%2B1%2Fv, equation in slope intercept form.
y-intercept is 1%2Fv.

If y were 0,
0=%28k%2Fv%29x%2B1%2Fv
%28k%2Fv%29x=-1%2Fv
x=%28v%2Fk%29%28-1%2Fv%29
x=-1%2Fk-------- x-intercept
