Since my y-axis is wavelength (nm) and my x-axis is 1/pc where p is momentum and c is the speed of light, what would my units be? I've always thought that the slope of this line (that is linear) was just a ratio and was therefore unitless.

pc is kg meters per second times meters per second which is mass times velocity squared which is energy or Joules. So 1/pc is 1/Joules
The slope is delta y over delta x which is meters over 1/joules which is Joule meters which doesn't make much sense
