The locus of a variable point whose distance from $$\left( { - 2,\,0} \right)$$ is $$2/3$$ times its distance from the line $$x = - {9 \over 2}$$ is

The equations to a pair of opposites sides of parallelogram are $${x^2} - 5x + 6 = 0$$ and $${y^2} - 6y + 5 = 0,$$ the equations to its diagonals are

The circles $${x^2} + {y^2} - 10x + 16 = 0$$ and $${x^2} + {y^2} = {r^2}$$ intersect each other in two distinct points if

The equation $$2{x^2} + 3{y^2} - 8x - 18y + 35 = k$$ represents
