Yes, you are 100% correct. I would say that the word 'perspective' could be substituted here for 'slant' and the sentence would have the same meaning. Good job!

Another synonym for "perspective" and "slant" for this example is "angle". As in "to look at something from a different angle."
"This article gave a completely different angle on the tax reform."
"The teacher put a new angle on yoga."
