x_{1}

X_{1} ∣ X_{2} = x_{2} \sim N (μ_{1} + ρ \frac{σ _{1}}{σ _{2}} (x_{2} - μ_{2}), σ_{1}^{2} (1 - ρ^{2})) .

Thus its conditional density is

\frac{1}{2 π σ _{1}^{2} ( 1 - ρ ^{2} )} exp - \frac{( x _{1} - μ _{1} - ρ \frac{σ _{1}}{σ _{2}} ( x _{2} - μ _{2} ) ) ^{2}}{2 σ _{1}^{2} ( 1 - ρ ^{2} )} .
