Consider a quadratic function $f(x) = x^2 - 4x + 3$. Define $g(x)=-f(x)$ and $h(x)=f(-x)$. Find $a$ and $b$, where $a$ represents the number of intersection points between the graphs of $y=f(x)$ and $y=g(x)$, and $b$ represents the number of intersection points between the graphs of $y=f(x)$ and $y=h(x)$. Calculate $10a + b$.
