To do so, you will need to tweak your in-game settings and then put them into practice. This guide will tell you how to slide cancel in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

How to perform a slide cancel in Modern Warfare 2
Once you have the above settings mentioned, performing a slide cancel is fairly straightforward. Simply start a tactical sprint, and then go into a slide using the Crouch button. Then, activate ADS, and simultaneously press the Jump button to exit the slide quickly.
