Here is the code to get an image from Drive an insert it into a Google Slides presentation:

function insertImageFromDrive() {

  // Load the image from Google Drive
  var image = DriveApp.getFileById("<DRIVE_FILE_ID>");

  // Load the Google Slides presentation.
  var presentation = SlidesApp.openById("<SLIDES_ID>");
