<p><font face="serif">Class - if you look at the Dixon Plot in
example 10.1 it shows the slope as being equal to
<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><msub><mi>V</mi><mrow><mi>m</mi><mi>a</mi><mi>x</mi></mrow></msub><annotation
encoding="TeX">V_{max}</annotation></semantics></math>.
However, if you look at equation 10.13 you see that the slope
must be
<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><mn>1</mn><mo>/</mo><msub><mi>V</mi><mrow><mi>m</mi><mi>a</mi><mi>x</mi></mrow></msub></mrow><annotation
encoding="TeX">1/V_{max}</annotation></semantics></math>.
The equation in the text is correct and that on the plot is
incorrect.</font></p>

your results for your project much more consistent!</font></p>
