1. The quadratic model for the bird’s path is written in vertex form as  
  $$
  y = a(x-h)^2 + k.
  $$  
According to the problem, the constants are given by  
  $$
  h = 0,\quad k = 0,\quad a = 40.
  $$

2. To determine the point(s) at which the bird’s path meets the other path, we set up a system where one equation is the bird’s quadratic path and the other is the equation for the second path. One of the answer choices uses a quadratic in vertex form. Notice that the choice  
  $$
  y = -0.12(x-20)^2
  $$  
expresses a quadratic in vertex form, and it’s paired with the linear equation  
  $$
  y = 0.8x.
  $$  
Since solving for the intersection involves equating the two expressions for $$ y $$, the system  
  $$
  \begin{cases}
  y = 0.8x, \
  y = -0.12(x-20)^2,
  \end{cases}
  $$  
is the set of equations you can use to determine where the paths intersect.

Thus, the correct system of equations is  
  $$
  y = 0.8x \quad \text{and} \quad y = -0.12(x-20)^2.
  $$
To find where the bird's path intersects another path, use the system of equations: $$ y = 0.8x \quad \text{and} \quad y = -0.12(x-20)^2 $$
