4 is the constant she gets, plus x amount of hours at 5 dollars.

You've got it right. If she's making 5 dollars per hour then the amount of money she makes from working over time would be 5h, cause if she works 2 hours then she makes 10 bucks from wokring time, 15 bucks if working for 3, and so on. The +4 is always added.
