To find the equation described in the table, we can analyze the pairs of \( (x, y) \) values given. We can observe the change in \( y \) as \( x \) increases:
- When \( x = 0 \), \( y = -10 \)
- When \( x = 1 \), \( y = -9 \)
- When \( x = 2 \), \( y = -8 \)
- When \( x = 3 \), \( y = -7 \)
From this, we can see that for every increase of 1 in \( x \), \( y \) increases by 1. Therefore, the relationship between \( x \) and \( y \) is linear.
We can express this in function notation as:
\[ f(x) = x - 10 \]
Thus, combining these observations, the equation described in the table is:
\[ f(x) = x - 10 \]
