Atree of height y meters has, on average, upper b branches, where upper b equals y minus 3. each branch has, on average, n leaves where n equals 2 upper b superscript 2 baseline minus upper b. find the average number of leaves on a tree as a function of height.

The description below represents function a and the table represents function b: function a the function is 5 more than 3 times x. function b x y −1 2 0 5 1 8 which statement is correct about the slope and y-intercept of the two functions? (1 point) their slopes are equal but y-intercepts are not equal. their slopes are not equal but y-intercepts are equal. both slopes and y intercepts are equal. neither slopes nor y-intercepts are equal.
