Angle of Engines on MD-80

Why are (at least some) airliner engines mounted at an up angle to the horizon--the intake end higher than the nozzle end? I first noticed the design element on the MD-80.



Apologies if the question is answered elsewhere on Pprune--I did look, and couldn't find it addressed.

Many thanks.
