Consider the equation $y_i=beta_0+beta_1x_i+epsilon_i$ for $i=1, dotsc, n$.



We have unbiased estimators $b_0$ and $b_1$ for $beta_0$ and $beta_1$ respectively, where $b_0=bary-b_1barx$ and $b_1= S_xy / S_xx$.



How does one show that $operatornameCov(b_0,b_1)=-fracsigmabarxS_xx$



I tried using $operatornameCov(b_0,b_1)=E(b_0b_1)-E(b_0)E(b_1)$ to no avail as it just equals $0$ when I try and do that. Thanks!

          You have not defined your symbols, so presumably $$S_xx=sum (x_i-bar x)^2 quadtext and quad S_xy=sum (x_i-bar x)(y_i-bar y)$$



          Use the bilinearity of covariance.



          We have



          beginalign
          operatornameCov(b_0,b_1)&=operatornameCov(bar y-b_1bar x,b_1)
          \&=operatornameCov(bar y,b_1)-bar xoperatornameVar(b_1)
          endalign



          Recall that $bar y$ and $b_1$ are independently distributed, so their covariance vanishes.



          Moreover, the exact distribution of $b_1$ is $$b_1simmathcal Nleft(beta_1,fracsigma^2S_xxright)$$



          Hence you finally get as the covariance between the least square estimates $$operatornameCov(b_0,b_1)=-fracbar xsigma^2S_xx$$
