Devon made a scale drawing of a triangle. he used a scale factor of 1/4 to draw the new triangle. how does each side of the new triangle compare to the original?

check above link.

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
