Note that on an assesment, you are expected to derive the SI unit expression given the equation of unit.
For example Force = mass x acceleration = mass x distance / time / time = $kg \times m \times s^{-2}$.
!!! note "Definition"
Physical Quantity: must always be expressed as the product of **magnitude**(number) and a **unit**.
Example: $10m$ (10 meters).
### Metric prefixes
Every SI unit can be expanded with metric prefixes.

The uncertainty of the **slope** of the line of best fit is the difference between the maximum and minimum slopes.
$$m_{\text{best fit}} ± \frac{m_{\max}-m_{\min}}{2}$$
The uncertainty of the **intercepts** is the difference between the intercepts of the maximum and minimum lines.
$$\text{intercept}_{\text{best fit}} ± \frac{\text{intercept}_{\max} - intercept_{\min}}{2}$$
