y'at x = π 6 is 2 cos ( π 6 ) = 3
This direction θ = ψ is given by tan ψ = 3
Inversely, ψ = tan - 1 3 is π 6 . For the opposite direction , it is π + π 6
The unit vector in the direction θ = π 6 is
< cos ( π 6 ) , sin ( π 6 ) >
For the opposite direction, it is
< cos ( π + π 6 ) , sin ( π + π 6 ) >
= < - cos ( π 6 ) , - sin ( π 6 ) >
