This slide potentiometer module  has two linear variable resistor with resistance of 5k. In most applications you will only require three connections to your Arduino (i.e., VCC, GND and Output A/B)

Its output voltage will range between 0 V to the VCC you apply. The module is equipped with knob 

A slide potentiometer, offers some benefits to an operator interface.  For example, controlling up and down, forward and reverse, left and right, can be confusing when incorporating a rotary potentiometer.  Slide potentiometers, when positioned correctly, can lessen that confusion.
