L'ordonnée à l'origine d'une fonction est la valeur en y du point qui se trouve directement sur l'axe des ordonnées. Conséquemment, les coordonnées d'un tel point s'écrivent (0, y). On parle aussi de la valeur initiale de la fonction.  2, record 1, French, - ordonn%C3%A9e%20%C3%A0%20l%27origine

The intercept of a straight line, curve, or surface on an axis of coordinates is the distance from the origin to the point where the line, curve, or surface cuts the axis. The intercept on the axis of abscissas or x-axis, is the x-intercept, and that on the axis of ordinates, or y-axis, the y-intercept.(In space, the intercept on the z-axis is the z-intercept.)  5, record 2, English, - axis%20of%20abscissas

A form of the Michaelis-Menten equation in which reciprocals of both sides are equated to give the linear form, l/V=(K_m/V_max)(1/(S] + 1/V_max, where V is the reaction velocity,(S) is the substrate concentration, and K_m is the Michaelis-Menten constant. A plot of 1/V(the Y coordinate) as a function of 1/(S)(the X coordinate) is a straight line from which V_max, the maximal velocity, can be determined from the y-intercept(=1/V_max) and K_m which measures the enzyme-substrate affinity, can be determined from the x-intercept(=-1/K_m).  1, record 3, English, - Lineweaver%20%2D%20Burk%20equation

Several other linearized forms of the Michaelis-Menten equation have been derived:[S)/V) = (1/V_max) (S) + K(subscript m]/V_max) (Hanes Plot), and (V) = (-V/(S] (K_m) + (V_max) (Eadie-Hofstee Plot). These equations make it possible to calculate K^m values from experimental data and are useful in the study of enzyme activation and inhibition.  1, record 3, English, - Lineweaver%20%2D%20Burk%20equation
