Bend:
E|--------------
B|----6b7-------
G|--------------
D|--------------
A|--------------
E|--------------
Means, bend the B string holding it at the 6th fret, enough to make it sound just like the note on the 7th fret of the same string. For a beginner, you should first listen to the 2(7) note and then bend 2(6) to raise the tension (and consequently the pitch of the string) to make it sound exactly like 2(7). It will take some practice.
Slide:
E|--------------
B|--------------
G|--------------
D|------3s7-----
A|--------------
E|--------------
Means, hold the D string at the 3rd fret and play it. Now quickly, without muting the sound of the vibrating string, slide your finger to the 7th fret.
