This should be an easy one units in Pressure formula

Homework Statement

A problem about pressure vs. temperature of a gas. Details not necessary since I'm just looking for specific help (see "Relevant equations").

Homework Equations

P = 0.0034T + 0.9517

This is the equation that I'm given, which is the slope of the line plotting pressure vs temperature. The 0.0034 is the slope and the 0.9517 is the Y-intercept. Finding the units isn't what he's looking for, but I need to know the units in order to do my calculations and show my work properly.

The Attempt at a Solution

Pressure is given in kPa, and Temperature in Celsius.

My idea was that the unit of 0.9517 was kPa, and the unit for 0.0034 was kPa/degrees Celsius, so that the 1/Celsius of that and the Celsius of the temperature would cancel out, leaving only kPa on both numbers.

You're correct. If you were told that P is in kPa and T is in °C, then it's kPa/°C for the slope, and 0.9517 kPa.
