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