I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. It would be 4 that would make the system of equations y=4x+1 and y=mx-5 to have no solution. It will make them parallel lines where they do not intersect at any point.

Answer:

Option A - m=4    

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Equation [tex]y=4x+1,y=mx-5[/tex]

To find : For which of the following values of m would the system of equations have no solution ?

Solution :  

When the system of equation is in form [tex]a_1x+b_1y+c_1=0, a_2x+b_2y+c_2=0[/tex] then the condition for no solutions is  

[tex]\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}\neq \frac{c_1}{c_2}[/tex]

Re-write equation as [tex]4x-y+1=0,mx-y-5=0[/tex]

Comparing with given equations,

[tex]a_1=4, b_1=-1,c_1=1\text{ and }a_2=m, b_2=-1,c_2=-5[/tex]

Substituting the values,

[tex]\frac{4}{m}=\frac{-1}{-1}\neq \frac{1}{-5}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{4}{m}=\frac{1}{1}\neq -\frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Taking first two equation,

[tex]\frac{4}{m}=\frac{1}{1}[/tex]

[tex]m=4[/tex]

Therefore, The value of m is 4.

So, Option A is correct.
