Abstract: 

We present combinatorial interpretations for sums into two parameters from which we have, as special cases, combinatorial interpretations for many identities of Slater´s list including Rogers-Ramanujan identities, unrestricted partitions and Lebesgues´ partition identity. In this work we are representing a number as a "vector" and providing representation of this "vector" as a sum of "vectors". It is possible to write this representation as a two-line matrix which can be interpreted as lattice paths. We provide three distinct representations for unrestricted partitions. One of them has the property of giving also a complete description for the conjugate partition.
