Unit rate and slope are related concepts but not the same. A unit rate refers to a ratio that compares a quantity to one unit of another quantity, often expressed as "per unit," such as miles per hour. Slope, on the other hand, represents the rate of change between two variables in a linear equation, indicating how much one variable changes in relation to another. Both involve ratios, but slope specifically applies to linear relationships on a graph.
A unit rate expresses a quantity in relation to one unit of another quantity, often used to compare different rates, like miles per hour or price per item. Slope, on the other hand, represents the steepness or incline of a line on a graph, calculated as the change in the vertical axis (y) divided by the change in the horizontal axis (x). While both concepts involve ratios, unit rates are typically used in everyday contexts, whereas slope is more commonly applied in mathematics, particularly in linear equations.
Unit rates are a special type of rates: those where the numerator or, more usually the denominator, of the rate is 1.
It is 1 unit of distance per 1 unit of time.

Unit rate, slope, and rate of change are different names for the same thing. Unit rates and slopes (if they are constant) are the same thing as a constant rate of change.

For each of the following relationships, graph the proportional relationship between the two quantities, write the equation representing the relationship, and describe how the unit rate, or slope is represented on the graph.
You're question is unclear. Most rates are unit rates. Miles per hour implies 1 hour which is a unit (1) rate.

The IS curve is a negative slope, indicating that higher levels of output are associated with lower interest rates. The negative slope follows from the assumption that investment is inversely related to the interest rate. As the interest rate decreases, investment and hence, equilibrium output increases- Dr Remy Hounsou
With unit rates there is only one number that needs to be remembered for the conversion factor.
The second number in a unit rate is usually 1, although it can be the first.

It is 1 unit of distance per 1 unit of time.
The value of the ratio is the same.
