Conditional variance in a joint pmf

If (X,Y)(X,Y) is a random vector with the joint probability mass function f(x,y)={2e−332x−y−1x!,x=0,1,2,…;y=x,x+1,x+2,…,0,otherwise,f(x,y)=\begin{cases}2e^{-3}\dfrac{3^{2x-y-1}}{x!},&x=0,1,2,…; y=x,x+1,x+2,…,\\0,&\text{otherwise,}\end{cases} then Var⁡(Y∣X=2)\operatorname{Var}(Y\mid X=2) equals __________ (rounded off to two decimal places)
