Whats the difference betwen the Michaelis /Menton equation versing the Lineweaver /Burke plot and could you give at least one example?

michaelis- menten equation describes how the rate of the reaction, V, depends on the concentration of both thebenzyme [E] and the substrete [S] which forem the product[P]
V= k2 [E] [S]
--------------
Km+[S]
V=Vmax
--------
Kmax
Lineweaver-burk equation is a reciprocal form of the michaelis menten equation
1 KM 1 1
------ = -------- + -----
V V max[S] Vmax

Micheles Mentin Equation gives the equation in the form of hyberbola graph when taken between Substrate and Enzyme.
But, lineweaver burk plot gives the same info in a better form- i.e. in the form of a straight line- which makes the understanding of enzymology a lot simpler
