Well, legato is a technique.. so are slides.

Legato means to play smooth, whereas Staccato means to play short. Ties and slurs are similar is their symbol.. but slurs go to a different note, and ties stay on the same note (similar to holding a note)

Slurs usually make the music sound Legato, because of how the notes stay connected!
