No because the tight end is actually is next to the offensive lineman and also run blocks on a lot of plays. A slot reciever is more off to the side.

Technically, no. A tight end is actually part of the offensive line, lining up directly next to the offensive tackle, either on the left or right side of the formation.
A slot receiver is not attatched to the offensive line, and will not be on the line of scrimmage.
Sometimes, especially in the Indianapolis Colts' offense, you will see the tight end line up as the slot receiver. Many times the slot receiver will run routes over the middle of the field, making the durability and size of a tight end ideal for this position.

The 'slot' is a spot where any receiver (including the tight end-TE), can line up. Anybody who lines up there, becomes a slot receiver. TEs line up either next to the offensive linemen (to block on running plays), or a few steps away (to go downfield and catch the ball). Wide receivers who line up in the slot, are usually slower than outside receivers, but usually have really sure hands.

no tight end lines up on the Oline and the slot receiver lines up inside of where the normal receiver does

i might particularly watch Paris Hilton on a loop asserting "it incredibly is warm!" all afternoon than go through the terminal boredom of fat egg-chasing adult men in armour headbutting one yet another and making random monosyllabic noises
