The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased.

To put it as it is often put:

Force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma): the net force on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration.

Is sliding down a slide an example of Newton's 2nd law?

Sliding down a slide is not a direct example of Newton's 2nd law. Newton's 2nd law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. Sliding down a slide involves friction and potentially gravity, which contribute to the forces acting on the object, but it may not necessarily involve acceleration in the same way as described by Newton's 2nd law.
