Now that we have a and b, it is time to find the inclination (\theta) and I get the value of $77.58$ degrees. In Table 2 I have included the inclination (\theta) $(\theta)$  and the Sin(\theta). Because the whole galaxy is moving away from Earth - we can tell it is because the center point of the galaxy has a redshift. If the center point of the galaxy was $0 \textrm{ km/s}$ than the galaxy would be stationary in relation to Earth. The velocity at the center of the line of nodes is $4,944 \textrm{ km/s}$, so the whole galaxy is moving away from Earth at that speed. That means, that we must subtract the speed of the whole galaxy from the values obtained from the stars moving around their orbit.
