Tangent = 0.5
The arc tangent is the recicple of the tangent which is also known as the cotangent. The tangent of π/2 is undefined, thus the cotangent would be zero.
Such a line is called a tangent line or a tangent to the circle. [Tangent is Latin for touching-- a tangent line touches the circle at just one point. ]
inverse tangent of 0.5 is 26.565 deg
Yes, the derivative of an equation is the slope of a line tangent to the graph.
