Right answer is (b) Miachelis Menten equation

Best explanation: The equation \(V_0=\frac{V_{max} [S]}{K_m+[S]}\) represents Miachelis Menten equation, where

V0 = initial velocity, Vmax = maximum rate, Km = Miachelis Menten constant and [S] = substrate concentration.

Line weaker Burk equation, Eadie-Hofstee plot equation and Hanes plot equation are derivatives of Miachelis Menten equation.
