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?

If it’s in the open fields then tanks rush around and find hull down positions and fire at targets. Infantry will be travelling in vehicles to keep up.
If it’s in an area where tanks might be ambushed by infantry with hand held anti tank weapons, like in a city, then the infantry move ahead of the tanks and the tanks follow slowly behind.
In theory. US tanks seem to rush ahead in towns and cities without infantry support in a lot of combat vids but then again basically almost nothing can actually destroy them.
The Russians have been doing it in vids in Ukraine but they seem to be able to be blown up by everything.
