Standing at the top of a slide would be potential energy. While standing at the top of a slide would be potential energy, going down the slide would be kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is energy in motion. On the other hand, potential energy is energy at rest.

I am trying to find the magnitude of a resultant vector. Do i take inconsideration the negatives when i find the x & y compo

Absolutely ! If you have two vectors with equal magnitudes and opposite
directions, then one of them is the negative of the other. Their correct
vector sum is zero, and that's exactly the magnitude of the resultant vector.

(Think of fifty football players pulling on each end of the rope in a tug-of-war.
Their forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign, and the flag that
hangs from the middle of the rope goes nowhere, because the resultant
force on it is zero.)

This gross, messy explanation is completely applicable when you're totaling up
the x-components or the y-components.
