No. If you think about it, upstairs toilets actually drain through the walls and down under the foundation and footings, so you would have a 100% slope there. You can have too little slope, but never too much, since gravity is actually what drains a toilet.
Yes you can. Pipes that run vertical are not a problem because friction is not acting on either the solid or the liquid matter. Where a pipe is sloping steeply the water can run away leaving solid matter behind.

The slope is a horizontal line is?
The slope of a horizontal line is zero. It has a slope, but slope = 0 and this makes it different from a vertical line which has a slope that is undefined because you cannot divide 0 over 0 which is how much a vertical line rises and runs.Ways to find slope:(y2-y1)/(x2-x1 )orrise/run
Can you undefine the slope of a horizontal line?
Any line, except a vertical line has a well defined slope. It cannot be undefined. In much the same way as you cannot be undefined!
How do you determine a slope from a graph?
Slope = (vertical change)/(horizontal change), commonly referred to as rise/run. If the graph is a straight line, then you can count squares or measure how much change in vertical, over a specified change in horizontal. If it is a curve, then you need to have a tangent line (a line that touches the curve at a specific point and has the same slope as the line), then you can determine the slope of that line using the method described, above.
What is the slope of a graph that is parallel to the y-axis?
The slope is (change in 'y' produced by a change in 'x') divided by (change in 'x' that produces it). The slope of any horizontal line on the graph is zero because the value of 'y' is the same everywhere on the line. No matter how much you change 'x' along the line, 'y' never changes.
What is a slope on a linear graph?
The slope is the magnitude of the line upwards or downwards, commonly referred to as "rise over run". The rise is how much the graph goes up in a certain distance, and the run is how much the graph goes over horizontally that same distance. To find the slope in that situation, you have to divide the rise by the run.
How much slope per foot toilet drain?
All drains slope 1/4 inch per foot, minimum. Too much slope,though, can mean pulling water out of the trap or goose neck on a toilet.
How do you tell how much slope is on an existing drain pipe?
With a level
What should you do if your shower gurgles when the toilet is flushed and the toilet doesn't always work and you also get a drain pipe leak in your basement when too much water is used at the same time?
First thing you should do is call a plumber. Drain lines are not supposed to leak. Your drain line is clogged and needs to be snaked out and the leaking pipe repaired.
What should you do if there is not much water in your toilet bowl and you tried flushing it again and the plunger isn't working?
Time to give up and call a plumber to clean your drain line.

How much slope do you need for a drain pipe from a new bathroom and what do you do if there isn't enough slope?
One quarter inch per foot is standard "slope". This equates to a quarter bubble on a level. If you don't have at least one eighth of an inch "slope", your drain will not work properly and will clog constantly.
How does a line graph line with a steeper slope compare to one with a shallower slope?
The slope will tell you how much change of Y to X >.
How much does it cost to replace a toilet drain?
Depends how much of it you replace . Also how much flooring you remove if you can't get underneath.
Can you undefine the slope of a horizontal line?
Any line, except a vertical line has a well defined slope. It cannot be undefined. In much the same way as you cannot be undefined!
How do you solve slope and equations?
The slope is the rise/over run of a line. The equation of a line is usually written in the form y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. To find the slope, you can take two points on a line, find how much the line goes up (or down) between the two, and divide it by how much the lines moves to the right. Usually the slope is left in the simplest fraction form.
What is wrong if when running the washer and draining the upstairs bathtub at the same time water overflows in the washer drain so much that it runs all over the floor?
DRAIN LINE LEAVING YOUR HOME WHICH IS ALL WATER AND WASTE IS PLUGGED,,,,SIZE OF LINE PLUGGED IS HANDLING ON THING BEING DONE BUT NOT TWO OR MORE,,,,MORE WATER THAT IS BEING FLUSHED, TUB DRAINING OR TOILET FLUSHING AT SAME TIME MAKES WORSE,,,EXCESS WATER JUST BACKS UP AS IT CANNOT GO OUT THE PIPE...THERE ARE SOME DRAIN LINE PRODUCTS THAT CAN BE FLUSHED INTO TOILET TO UNPLUG LINE,,,OTHER THAN THAT WOULD NEED SOMEONE (PLUMBER WITH A ROTATING LINE THAT WILL GO DOWN THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF DRAIN LINE UNTIL IT CLEARS THE BLOCKAGE
