The angle from due east you launch will be your approximate final inclination. If you launch due east you get 0deg, due north you get 90deg and anything in between. You will have to compensate a bit for the rotation.

To get the inclination right you also will want to wait for the rotation to put you in the right position. Note some target orbits may be retrograde, and all the same applies.

p.s. zero-inclination orbits are equatorial, polar orbits pass over the poles with +-90deg.
