How to make angle a unit type in Mathcad Prime 3.1

In the attached Mathcad Prime 3.1! worksheet I am attempting to graph slope vs. distance on a beam. On the vertical axis is slope. How do I specify angle as the unit type?

"angle" is not a unit of "slope". Slope is a ratio of two numbers (change in y divided by change in x). The angle (the angle you probably want, anyway) is the arctan of the slope. By default the units for the angle are radians, but you can put "deg" in the units placeholder to change the displayed unit to degrees.

I don't have 3.1 to see what you are doing, but the attached file (Prime 3.0) may help.

Thank you Norm. It looks like your attachment is graphing functions without units, as opposed to "angle" as a unit.
