Prove that the line 2x - 3y = 9 touches the conics y2 = - 8x, also find point of contact.
Line 2x - 3y = 9
Comparimg this equation with y = mx + C, we get
The condition is a = mc
Thus, the line touches the parabola.
y =
= - 3 - 3 = - 6
Therefore, point of contact is (, - 6).
The two lines of regressions are x + 2y - 5 = 0 and 2x + 3y - 8 = 0 and the variance of x is 12. Find the variance of y and the coefficient of correlation.
