I sort of solve my own problem.
If I change the line feed '\\' to the tab &:
\left(\begin{array}{rrrrr}
1 & \a & \a^{2} & a^{3} & a^{4} &
0 & 1 & 2 a & 3 a^{2} & 4 a^{3} &
0 & 0 & 1 & 3 a & 6 a^{2} &
0 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 4 a &
0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1
\end{array}\right)
Then both %slide and %latex display the correct matrix.
My matrix is
[ 1 a a^2 a^3 a^4]
[ 0 1 2*a 3*a^2 4*a^3]
[ 0 0 1 3*a 6*a^2]
[ 0 0 0 1 4*a]
[ 0 0 0 0 1]
If the above matrix is C, the output from latex(C) is the form that
%slide does not type set correctly.
But %slide and %hide are great features!! They make sage better than
PowerPoint, from my perspective.
