To complete the table, we will substitute each given $x$ value into the rule $y = -2x - 8$ and calculate the corresponding $y$ value.

Calculate $y$ when $x = -1$ .
$y = -2(-1) - 8 = 2 - 8 = -6$
Calculate $y$ when $x = -2$ .
$y = -2(-2) - 8 = 4 - 8 = -4$
Calculate $y$ when $x = -3$ .
$y = -2(-3) - 8 = 6 - 8 = -2$
Calculate $y$ when $x = -4$ .
$y = -2(-4) - 8 = 8 - 8 = 0$
Calculate $y$ when $x = -5$ .
$y = -2(-5) - 8 = 10 - 8 = 2$
Calculate $y$ when $x = -6$ .
$y = -2(-6) - 8 = 12 - 8 = 4$
Complete the table with the calculated $y$ values.
$\boxed{ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline x & -1 & -2 & -3 & -4 & -5 & -6 \\ \hline y = -2x - 8 & \textbf{-6} & \textbf{-4} & \textbf{-2} & \textbf{0} & \textbf{2} & \textbf{4} \\ \hline \end{array} }$
