In this paper, we examine the motion of a two dimensional steady flow of a viscous, electrically conducting, incompressible fluid flowing between two infinite parallel plates one of which is porous and under the influence of a transverse magnetic field and constant pressure gradient. The lower plate is assumed porous while the upper plate is not. The resulting coupled governing equation of motion is solved analytically by an analytical approach. Analytical expression for the fluid velocity obtained is expressed in terms of Hartmann number. The effects of the magnetic inclinations, Hartmann number, suction/injection and pressure gradient to the velocity are discussed graphically.
