The distance horizontally across the ground the  he land from his initial position is 990 meters.

The slope of a line shows how steep the line is. The slope is calculated using the formula:

Slope = vertical rise / horizontal run

From the question, the slope is 1.7. Hence:

Slope = vertical rise / horizontal run

1.7 = 1683 m / horizontal run

Horizontal run = 990 meters

Hence, the distance horizontally across the ground the  he land from his initial position is 990 meters.
