Answer

$$\langle 4-4t,16-32t \rangle $$

Work Step by Step

Since $ r (t)=\langle t^2,t^4 \rangle, $ then $ r' (t)=\langle 2 t,4t^3 \rangle $ then, the parametrization of the tangent line at $ t=-2$ is given by $$ L(t)=r (-2)+tr'(-2)\\ =\langle 4,16 \rangle +t \langle-4, -32 \rangle \\ =\langle 4-4t,16-32t \rangle \\ $$
