\begin{array}{lr}
3 y=2 x+6 & 5 x=-7 y+12 \\
y=\frac{-2}{3} x+2 & x=\frac{-7}{5} y+\frac{12}{5} \\
\therefore b_{y x}=\frac{-2}{3} & \therefore b_{x y}=\frac{-7}{5} \\
b_{y x} \cdot b_{x y}=\frac{-2}{3} \times \frac{-7}{5} & \\
=\frac{14}{15} \in[0,1] & \text {}
\end{array}

$\therefore$ Our assumption is correct
$\therefore$ Regression equation of $Y$ on $X$ is $2 x+3 y=6$
$\therefore$ Regression equation of $X$ on $Y$ is $5 x+7 y-12=0$
