The table displays pairs of \(x\) and \(y\) values. From the table, it's evident that as \(x\) increases by 1, \(y\) also increases by 1. This indicates a linear relationship between \(x\) and \(y\).

Observing the pattern, we can see that \(y\) values are equal to \(x\) values plus a constant negative value. More precisely:

- When \(x=0\), \(y=-10\)
- When \(x=1\), \(y=-9\)
- When \(x=2\), \(y=-8\)
- When \(x=3\), \(y=-7\)

This shows that:

\[
y = x - 10
\]

So, in function notation, this can be expressed as:

\[
f(x) = x - 10
\]

Thus, the equation described in the table is:

\[
\boxed{f(x) = x - 10}
\]
