There are definitely similarities between slippage and price impact, and they are closely related concepts in decentralized finance (DeFi) trading:
  Both reflect a difference between the expected and actual execution price of a trade. When you initiate a swap, you see an estimated output. Slippage and price impact both describe why the final amount you receive might be different from that initial estimate.
  Both are influenced by the size of your trade relative to the liquidity available in the trading pool. A larger trade compared to the pool's liquidity will generally result in higher slippage and a greater price impact.
  Both can lead to receiving less of the desired asset. This is the practical consequence that traders need to be aware of and manage.
  Both are important considerations for successful trading. Understanding these concepts helps traders set appropriate tolerances and avoid unexpected or unfavorable outcomes.

Sometimes you get to see someone swapped 1m$ worth of sol to a token but got like 50k
Where did 950k$ go?
He didn't take note of the price impact 
He should have swapped to a token that has a thicker liquidity 
As per the illustration above, there is less liquidity on COCK/USDT pair  but yh COCK/ADA liquidity  is thick enough to execute my trx.. make sure to check those things when transacting🤝🙂
