    設斜率是 m.

    m 存在 且 m≠ 0 直線與兩軸才都能相交.

    則方程式

         y-2 = m(x-4)

         x-截距 = 4+(-2)/m = 4-2/m

         y-截距 = 2 + m(-4) = 2-4m

    則: 由此直線與兩軸構成的三角形面積

        18 = (1/2).|4-2/m|.|2-4m|

    若 m < 0 則得

          18  = (1/2)(4-2/m)(2-4m)

                = 4+4-8m-2/m

                = 8 - 8m - 2/m

    即 8m+2/m+1o = 0.

    解之, 得 m = -1/4 or -1.

    直線為 x + 4y = 12 或 x + y = 6.

    若 m > 0, 則 m ≠ 1/2, 且

        m < 1/2 時 4-2/m < 0, 2-4m > 0

        m > 1/2 時 4-2/m > 0, 2-4m < 0

    故 

        -18 = 8 - 8m - 2/m

    即 8m + 2/m - 26 = 0

    解之, 得 m = (13±3√17)/8

    直線為

        y = [(13±3√17)/8](x-4) + 2
