The ball must travel 15ft in the Horizontal or X direction, and 1.7ft (10-8.3) in the Vertical or Y direction. The speed of the ball is irrelevent, just white noise to distract you from the answer. Try drawing it out, and you get a triangle that look similiar to this:
__________| With a hypotenous connecting the two.
Tangeat(Angle)=Opposite/Adjacent
Tan(Angle)=1.7/15
Angle=(1.7/15)(Tan^-1)
Angle=6.46*
