Explanation:

Step1: Recall inverse function definition

The inverse function \( f^{-1}(y) \) gives the \( x \) such that \( f(x) = y \). So we need to find \( x \) where \( f(x) = -7 \).

Step2: Look at the table for \( f(x) = -7 \)

From the table, when \( f(x) = -7 \), the corresponding \( x \) value is \( -4 \).

Answer:

\( -4 \)
