\huge\boxed{y=\frac{1}{23}x-\frac{73}{23}}

First, find the slope perpendicular to -23. We can do this by finding the opposite reciprocal.

Multiply the slope by -1 and write the result as a fraction.

-23*-1=23=\frac{23}{1}

Flip the numerator and the denominator.

\frac{23}{1}\longrightarrow\frac{1}{23}

This is the slope of line m. Since lines m and n are perpendicular, this is also the slope of line n.

Write the formula for point-slope form.

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Substitute in the values for line n.

y-(-3)=\frac{1}{23}(x-4)

Simplify the negative subtraction.

y+3=\frac{1}{23}(x-4)

Distribute the \frac{1}{23} to the (x-4).

y+3=\frac{1}{23}x-\frac{4}{23}

Subtract 3 — which is equivalent to \frac{69}{23} — from both sides.

\boxed{y=\frac{1}{23}x-\frac{73}{23}}
