contents In this paper, we introduce a method for calculating the deflection angle in the weak-field approximation, applicable to both null and timelike rays. By combining the trajectory equation $\mathcal{Z}(u)=(du/dϕ)^2$ and the `straight line' $u(φ)={\sinφ}/b$, we introduce a new function $Φ(φ)$. The deflection angle can then be expressed as $δ=Φ(0)+Φ(π)-π$, which directly depends on the impact parameter rather than the closest approach distance. This method offers a convenient and straightforward approach to calculations, avoiding the complexities of integration or iterative procedures. As an illustrative application, we compute the deflection angle for charged particle in the Kerr-Newman spacetime.
