It would depend on what is changing and on what timescale. For example, the rate of change of speed (acceleration) can be either ms-2 or miles/hour2.

The unit of rate of change is whatever it is that is changing, divided by time units. For example, if you measure rate of change of dollars in your bank account, you would have something like dollars / month; for acceleration, the unit commonly used is (meters / second) / second, etc.
You measure the change in the vertical direction (rise) per unit change in the horizontal direction (run). The rate of change is constant between A and B if AB is a straight line. Take any two points, A = (xa, ya) and B = (xb, yb) then the average rate of change, between A and B = (yb- ya)/(xb- xa).
Yes, but it is customary to express it as 2 seconds per foot. The denominator - or second measure - usually takes the value 1 in a unit rate.
It is a unit rate.A unit rate.
The unit rate of change of d with respect to t is the slope of the line representing the relationship between d and t. It indicates how much d changes for every one unit change in t. Mathematically, it is calculated as the change in d divided by the change in t, often denoted as Δd/Δt. This value represents the instantaneous rate of change at a specific point on the curve.
