Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the placement of points on a graph in Desmos, specifically questioning why a point does not appear at the endpoint of a line. It suggests that the mathematical expression involving $\frac{\pi}{6}$ and trigonometric functions may influence this placement. The user contemplates the relationship between the slope, represented as $m=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$, and the angle $\frac{\pi}{6}$. This indicates a potential misunderstanding of how endpoints are determined in the context of the graph. The conversation highlights the importance of accurately interpreting mathematical expressions when graphing.

Because $\frac\pi 6\cdot 47\cos(\frac\pi 6) < 47 \sin(\frac\pi 6)$? (Thinking)
 
ok so $\displaystyle m=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ not $\displaystyle \frac{\pi}{6}$
