The slope of the given line is 4/5. A line parallel to it must have the same slope, hence y = (4/5)x - 3.

Water has a higher boiling point due to strong hydrogen bonding.

Mercury has a very high surface tension due to strong cohesive forces between its molecules, higher than that of water, ethanol, and benzene.

Mercury has the highest surface tension due to strong cohesive forces.

Glycerol is a thick liquid and has a higher viscosity compared to the others.

Benzene has a lower boiling point compared to water, ethanol, and hexane.

Benzene is a non-polar liquid, while the others are polar.

Hexane is a non-polar solvent, while the others are polar.

Ethanol can form strong hydrogen bonds due to the presence of an -OH group.

Ethanol has a lower surface tension compared to water and mercury due to its molecular structure.
