That depends on the overall meaning of the whole sentence, for example if it means out of control and/ or confusing as in “It’s a slippery Situation” or if it means literally it causes slipping as in “It’s a slippery surface” or any of the following meanings provided in the dictionary:

 

 

 

1. causing or tending to cause objects to slide a slippery road

 

2. liable to slip from the grasp, a position, etc.

 

3. not to be relied upon; cunning and untrustworthy a slippery character

 

4. (esp of a situation) liable to change; unstable

 

5. slippery slope a course of action that will lead to disaster or failure

I support all the above answers and only trying to write مراوغ  و  زلق in Arabic which the page disallows.
