WordPress menu links with images & class selection

If your slash.png is merely cosmetic, I would advise you use the CSS ::after pseudo-element, which matches a virtual last-child of the element in question. Then use the :last-child selector to avoid it displaying in the last item. It should be something like so:

ul.nav li::after {
    background: url("https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/88609/images/slash.png") bottom no-repeat;
    content:    '';
    display:    inline-block;
    width:      20px; // Set this to the width of your slash image 
    height:     20px; // Set this to the height of your slash image
}

ul.nav li:last-child::after {

    background: none;

}

Note, however, that while :after is supported by IE8+, :last-child is supported only by IE9+, so you might want to deal with those compatibility issues.

To do exactly what you asked, you should build a custom walker by extending Walker_Nav_Menu, or you might try hooking into the wp_nav_menu_objects hook. In your case, though, I don’t think this is at all necessary.
