This bit of articulation in sheet music is called a tenuto. Notes marked with a tenuto are usually meant to be played at full length (or a bit longer if you are playing with rubato in some cases). Some people emphasize the note by playing it louder. Listen to a professional recording of the piece you are trying and see how the performer plays the note(s) marked with a tenuto.

As far as I know, a dash on top of a musical note means that the note should be slightly lengthened and sustained. The musical word for this sign is 'tenuto'.
