I understand infantry is mechanized and only travels on foot when in actual combat. However tanks travel faster than people can walk and run. How do tanks and infantry support each other without tanks being vulnerable by moving slow, given that tanks are also vulnerable without infantry support?

There are of course many ways of using tanks and infantry together. Tanks do not usually move at full speed during the entire battle. It is generally better to move fast into cover and then use the stationary possition to better scout and aim at targets. Once there are no more targets you move forwards to the next cover. At the same time the infantry are doing the same but are able to move more constantly then a tank. The pace of both tanks and infantry is based on how quickly they can push the enemy back. Of course you can get into issues where tanks may overextend beyond the infantry but this leaves them vulnerable to enemy infantry traps so it is best for the tanks to hold back and wait for the infantry.
