Slave is deprecated and agent is preferred. There is no semantic difference between them.

TL;DR - Computers sharing work should be a good thing. Using the language of human bondage and suffering is inappropriate in this context. It also has the potential to alienate users and community members. MESOS-1478

With release of Mesos 1.0 they decided to rename slave to agent. For the same reson as it was done before in Django (pull request)

For backward compatibility they decided to leave with two versions slave and agent.
