Mathematically, there is no unit for slope. If you are taking something like a rise of 40cm over a run of 10cm, the cm cancel out and the slope is simply 4

Once you get off the math homework paper, however, slopes are often given as over a certain distance. If dealing with a hill on a road, you might be given a slope of "18 inches per 100 feet traveled" or something along those lines. ■
