Help with making projectiles point towards their trajectory

aieau

I am making a project that uses velocity variables to allow projectiles to bounce off surfaces. however, I do not know how to calculate the direction of a projectile with the variables speed X and speed Y. help me please

is it as simple as

forever
glide (whatever) secs to x: (your x) y: (your y)
end

?
plus you could use

point in direction (<your x> and <your y>

I need trigonometry. The reply above i believe doesn't understand the question. look up SOCATOAH or something. If you aren't GCSE maths you might struggle so if you are a kid mabye wait a bit. Good luck

point in direction (([atan v] of ((speedx) / (speedy))) + ((180) * <(speedy) > (0)>))

Thanks, that was exactly what I was looking for.
