Electromagnetic Field Strength
Given the EIRP (effective isotropic radiated power) of a microwave (in Watts), we can calculate the following:

Slope and Intercept with Two Points
Given two points of a line (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) we can find the slope (a) and y-intercept (b) of the general linear equation y = a*x + b.
The trick is to use the rectangular to polar conversion to find the slope:
θ = atan((y2 - y1)/(x2 -x1))
tan θ = (y2 - y1)/(x2 -x1) = slope = a
Once the slope is found, we can solve for the y-intercept:
y = a*x + b
b = y - a*x
Algorithm:
[ ( ] x1 [ - ] x2 [ ) ] [SHIFT] (R→P) [ ( ] y1 [ - ] y2 [ ) ] [ = ] [SHIFT] (X<>Y) [ tan ]
// slope is displayed
[ × ] x1* [ +/- ] [ + ] y1* [ = ]
// intercept is displayed
*x2 and y2 can be used instead
Example:
(x1, y1) = (8, 5.5)
(x2, y2) = (4, 9.5)
Result:
[ ( ] 8 [ - ] 4 [ ) ] [SHIFT] (R→P) [ ( ] 5.5 [ - ] 9.5 [ ) ] [ = ] [SHIFT] (X<>Y) [ tan ]
Slope: -1
[ × ] 8 [ +/- ] [ + ] 5.5 [ = ]
Slope: 13.5

The trick is to use the rectangular to polar conversion to find the slope:
