Incorrect. Slippery slope is an informal fallacy, which applies to arguments based on evidence not logical relations under certainty. But it is a component of the slippery slope fallacy that the implicit premise (that the precondition that is the subject of the argument is likely to lead to the result that is the endpoint of the slippery slope) is inadequately justified, not merely that a slope from the precondition to the endpoint is presented.
