You have a mistake in your thinking.

  The slope of a line rotated 60 degrees is not 2 (ie. for each unit in
the x direction the line goes up 2 units).

  The fact that the cosine of 60 degrees is 0.5 confused you.

  The slope of a line rotated by 60 degrees is sin(60)/cos(60) which
is about 1.7320508027 (quite different from 2).
