Regression coefficients: c/a=σX2/σY2c/a=\sigma_X^2/\sigma_Y^2, ac=r2ac=r^2, and the lines meet at the means

Let the regression lines of Y on X and X on Y be Y=aX+bY=aX+b and X=cY+dX=cY+d respectively. Consider the statements: (1) The ratio of the variances of X and Y is c/ac/a. (2) The correlation coefficient between X and Y is ac\sqrt{ac}. (3) The values of Xˉ\bar X and Yˉ\bar Y are cb+d1−ac\dfrac{cb+d}{1-ac} and ad+b1−ac\dfrac{ad+b}{1-ac} respectively. Which of the above statements are correct?
