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 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
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!
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.
The slant or steepness of a line is called its "slope." The slope measures how much the line rises or falls vertically for a given horizontal distance. It is often represented by the letter "m" in the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, y = mx + b. A positive slope indicates an upward trend, while a negative slope indicates a downward trend.
The change or rate of change of a line refers to its slope, which indicates how much the y-value changes for a given change in the x-value. Mathematically, the slope is calculated as the rise (change in y) over the run (change in x). A positive slope means the line rises as it moves from left to right, while a negative slope indicates it falls. In essence, the slope describes the steepness and direction of the line.
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.
With a level
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.
Time to give up and call a plumber to clean your drain line.

The slope will tell you how much change of Y to X >.
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.
To completely drain a toilet, turn off the water supply valve located behind or near the toilet. Then, flush the toilet to remove as much water as possible. Use a plunger to push any remaining water out of the bowl and into the drain. You can also use a wet/dry vacuum to suction out any remaining water.
Depends how much of it you replace . Also how much flooring you remove if you can't get underneath.
