To write an equation in slope-intercept form from the table given, you first need to find the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b).

Slope (m) can be calculated using the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Using the points (-2, -7) and (-1, -4):
m = (-4 - (-7)) / (-1 - (-2))
m = (-4 + 7) / (-1 + 2)
m = 3 / 1
m = 3

Now that we have the slope, we can use one of the points in the table to find the y-intercept (b). Let's choose the point (0, -1):
y = mx + b
-1 = 3(0) + b
-1 = b

Therefore, the equation in slope-intercept form is:
y = 3x - 1
