I've been on a tapering does of prednisone for 6 days and gained 14 pounds. I'm taking it for another 15 days now. The doctor told me my sudden weight gain was because of the prednisone. Why does prednisone do this?

In slope-intercept form :
1. Perpendicular to y= 3/4x - 2 and passes through (-12,7).
2. Perpendicular to the y-axis and passes through (-2,5).
3. Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (-3,6) and (-1,-9).
4. P is the midpoint of the line segment AB. The coordinates of P are (5,-6). The coordinates of A are (-1,10). Find the coordinates of B.
5. A carpenter is building a stairway. The depth of each tread is 10 inches. The height of each riser is 8 inches. What is the steepness (slope) of the stairway?
6. The endpoints of AB are A (-4,8) and B (12,-4). Find the coordinates of P if P lies on AB and is 3/8 the distance from A to B.
7. Find the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that is perpendicular to AB and passes through the midpoint of AB. Let
A = (-6,2) and B = (4,-10).

I've heard it is pretty difficult with limits and differential equations, which by the way I have no idea what that means. Anybody have any prior experience.

Assuming that space is curved, and that no-thing exists outside of space, and that there is no 'outside' space, then if one travelled in a straight line from this planet in any direction, presumably at some point one should return to earth. So, if one left earth in a starship travelling at the speed of light in a straight line how long would the journey take? And, if at the speed of light time passes slower than on earth, then how much younger would you be than a person of identical age as you, that had stayed on earth?
