Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

By solving \(3 x+4 y=9, y=m x+1\), we get
\(x=\frac{5}{3+4 \mathrm{~m}}\)
Now, \(x\) is an integer, if \(3+4 \mathrm{~m}=1,-1,5,-5\)
\(\therefore \quad \mathrm{m}=\frac{-2}{4}, \frac{-4}{4}, \frac{2}{4}, \frac{-8}{4}\).
Since, \(\mathrm{m}=\frac{-2}{4}, \frac{2}{4}\) do not give integral values of \(m\).
\(\therefore \quad \mathrm{m}\) has two integer values.
