They are "apt lines", which describe to apt where to download packages and the metadata from. The "deb" line describes the binary repository, whilst the "deb-src" line, as expected, describes the sources repository. They are usually placed into /etc/apt/sources.list, or a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d. After updating this file, you will need to update the cache, by running "apt-get update". There is a GUI for this functionality at /usr/bin/software-properties-gtk, which can be found in the menus as System/Administration/'Software Sources'.
