My old thermostat had a black wire and red wire - which of these wires go in which slot on nest thermostat?

The wire colour alone is not enough to determine where it needs to be connected.
If you've not already done so I'd recommend checking your system is compatible:
Nest thermostat compatibility - Google Nest Help
Once you've checked that, use the correct app for setup. Use the Nest app for Nest Learning Thermostat and Nest Thermostat E models. Use the Google Home app for Nest Thermostat (2020 model). The app will guide you through the setup and tell you where to connect the wires.
