  4. D 1
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given lines are, \(3 x+4 y=9\) \[ y=m x+1 \] Solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \[ x=\frac{5}{3+4 m} \] If \(m=-1,\) then \(x=-5\) and \(m=-2,\) then \(x=-1\) are the only possibilities.
