Demonstrate that the angle 0 between the propagation direction of light and the x axis transforms on

Question:

Demonstrate that the angle 0 between the propagation direction of light and the x axis transforms on transition from the reference frame K to K' according to the formula where β = V/c and V is the velocity of the frame K' with respect to the frame K. The x and x' axes of the reference frames coincide.
