I hate graphing like questions..so I'm going to show up a lot..well I don't understand them very well. All I understood was "-5-"....

Your slope would substitute to be: "m" in the formula:
(y -y1) = m (x-x1) 
Your given points: (4, -2) is the substitution for (x1,y1) 
Thus subsituting: 

(y-(-2) = -5(x -4) 
t + 2 = -5 (x -4)
