The above code would have been perfectly fine if you had tried reducing
the minipage sizes to say 0.45\linewidth!

\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\frame{\frametitle{Test}
        \begin{figure}
        \begin{minipage}[b]{0.45\linewidth} page
        {My Text and Equations goes here}
        \end{minipage}
        \hspace{0.5cm}
        \begin{minipage}[b]{0.45\linewidth}
        \centering
        \includegraphics[width=6cm]{myfig}
        \caption{En liten bild till}
        \end{minipage}
        \end{figure}
}
\end{document}

works as you intend.
