Question

Hi, I need some help with competitive enzymatic inhibition. I've done practice problems before, but they've always broken the slope and y-intercept down for me. Now I have this problem that seems to be in the form of a slope which is a bit more difficult:

The equation of Line X is: y = 0.06min·x + 0.021min/uM
The equation of Line Y is: y = 0.02min·x + 0.021min/uM

What is the Vmax in the presence of inhibitor?  Show all work & indicate proper units.

What is the Vmax in the absence of inhibitor?  Show all work & indicate proper units.

So far I've come up with an answer but I'm not sure it's correct since Xmax is the same with and w/o inhibitor:

y-intercept= 1/Vmax

Vmax= 1/ y-intercept

Vmax= 1/ (.021 min/uM)

Vmax= 47.62 uM/min

HELP!
