John,

You can put the header code into an MD export block (and ignore index.Rmd).
You can add '#+MD: ---' keyword lines to mark new slides.

Then you export to my.Rmd directly (using ravel) and run slidify("my.Rmd").

Graphics 'just work', but you have to mind the spacing to be sure the slides
render nicely.

The file slidify-example.org at

   https://github.com/chasberry/orgmode-accessories/

produces a minimal slidify slideshow with code, computed results, and graphics.

And it has some notes on org --> slidify using the md-knitr backend from 
ox-ravel.

Ideally, a `md-slidify' backend would get written to automagically
produce the yaml header, separate slides based on headline levels, et 
cetera. But that is a low priority right now.


HTH,
