Sure .. (y,x) is an object, (n,k) is also an object.
not that I know what binominal(n,k) means, but since (n,k) is the data 
you're working with, this data can be the object.

If you're referring to this 
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/BinomialCoefficient.html
then binominal(n,k) means "n choose k" which reads like a the messege 
"choose k" to the object "n" ;)

n.choose(k);

I think, for atan2, x,y are coordinates, no? hence x,y is a point.
