The given linear equations are :$$\begin{gathered} x+y=10 \\ x-y=6 \end{gathered}$$

First, solve both of these equations for y such that their slopes and y intercepts may be easily graphed.

And find the slope and y-intercept by solving the first equation for y.

$$\begin{gathered} x+y=10 \\ y=-x+10 \\ \mathrm{Here}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{slope}\mathrm{is}m=-1 \\ \mathrm{And}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{y}-\mathrm{intercept}\mathrm{is}b=10 \end{gathered}$$

Again find the slope and y-intercept by solving the Second equation for y.

$$\begin{gathered} x-y=6 \\ -y=-x+6 \\ y=x-6 \\ \mathrm{Here}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{slope}\mathrm{is}m=1 \\ \mathrm{And}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{y}-\mathrm{intercept}\mathrm{is}b=-6 \end{gathered}$$
