The answer to "Can you", is probably yes, the more thorough answer is you probably shouldn't.
Lets drill down a concept or two...
You are about to add another inch of thickness with the thin-set & Slate, that means redoing the base trim, kick space & cutting doors really short.. The extra thickness probably weighs 6-9 pounds per sq foot when the thin-set, slat & grout are all wet & in place... and that on top of the other flooring is getting to be a pretty great load...
Guessing her but either the old floor is ugly or not performing, Ugly is your call, not performing means cracks, loose or some other performance issue & that indicated rip it out...
There are a lot of other answers on here about tile over tile & that is almost completely interchangeable with slate over tile.. .might want to read those too...
all the best!
