I need help please thank you

Having a hard time understanding this question (see attachment).

What is the length of the segment, endpoints of which are intersections of parabolas y=x^2− 11/4 x− 7/4 and y=− 7 /8 x^2+x+ 31/8 ?

Sketch the vector field vector f( vector r ) = 8vector r in the xy-plane. select all that apply. the length of each vector is 8. the lengths of the vectors decrease as you move away from the origin. all the vectors point away from the origin. all the vectors point in the same direction. all the vectors point towards the origin. the lengths of the vectors increase as you move away from the origin.
