 * Find the angle of a segment from (x1, y1) -> (x2, y2).

 * The difference between this method and {@link Phaser.Math.Angle.Between} is that this assumes the y coordinate

 * @function Phaser.Math.Angle.BetweenY

 * @param {number} x1 - The x coordinate of the first point.
 * @param {number} y1 - The y coordinate of the first point.

 * @return {number} The angle in radians.
