) Determine the equation for the data, and give the values of the y-intercept and the slope. (Note:In bio-chemistry this is known as a Lineweaver-Burk plot, and the y-intercept is related to the maximum speed of the reaction.

If you want a Lineweaver-Burk plot, the plot the inverses, $\dfrac{1}{v}~vs~\dfrac{1}{[H_2O_2]}$. 

$y-int=\dfrac{1}{V_{max}}$

$x-int=-\dfrac{1}{K_m}$
