360 degrees is straight to the right, but I want 360 degrees to be straight up when the line is drawn in my circle. Can someone please show or explain how I can adjust this?

I am guessing that something needs to be adjusted in the lines:

x = x0 + (float)(Math.Cos(((double)degrees / 360) * 2 * Math.PI) * length);
y = y0 + (float)(Math.Sin(((double)degrees / 360) * 2 * Math.PI)
