Can a drain pipe rise up and then down for a small portion of the run if the slope of the overall run is quite steep?
You can do this with something like a storm water pipe. Storm water is basically clean and there is unlikely to be any problem with build up of sludge in the pipe. You should not do it with sewerage pipe as it will cause it to block up eventually

Slope of a 2 drain pipe?
1/8 " - 11/2".
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.
What is the gradient of a drain?
The gradient of a drain is the slope or incline of the drain pipe. It represents the change in elevation of the drain pipe over a certain distance. A steeper gradient indicates a faster flow of water through the drain.

What should the slope be for a shower PVC drain pipe in a home?

Why does my washing machine drain pipe keep overflowing even when there are no obstructions in the pipe?
See if there is something stuck in the pipes that is clogging it up and causing this to happen.
Can you have too much slope on a toilet drain line?
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.
