To determine what value makes the equation \(-5 = 4 - 3x4 - 3x\) undefined, we need to analyze the expression for possible points of indeterminacy.

First, let's clarify the expression. The equation looks slightly confusing. If we assume you meant:

\(-5 = 4 - 3x(4 - 3x)\)

Let's simplify that. The key component to check for undefined conditions is usually division by zero or similar issues in the expression.

If we rewrite \( 4 - 3x(4 - 3x) \):

1. Expanding \(4 - 3x(4 - 3x)\):
\[
4 - 12x + 9x^2 = 9x^2 - 12x + 4
\]

Now, set the equation:
\[
-5 = 9x^2 - 12x + 4
\]

This becomes:
\[
9x^2 - 12x + 9 = 0
\]

Dividing all terms by 3:
\[
3x^2 - 4x + 3 = 0
\]

Now, we can use the discriminant to find potential solutions (or points of being undefined). The discriminant of a quadratic can reveal whether there are real solutions:

\[
b^2 - 4ac = (-4)^2 - 4(3)(3) = 16 - 36 = -20
\]

The discriminant is negative, indicating there are no real solutions and thus it cannot be zero, which does not provide a direct answer in this context.

However, if we see where we could have an undefined situation typically implies factors that could lead to division by zero in simplified scenarios (not visible in this quadratic). If there was a direct rational expression originally presented that simplified into issues of undefined, that would lead typically into finding values that zero-out denominators or resulting factors in a rational form.

Since no such direct simplification shows division, we can analyze the choices presented. None of the potential roots lead us into any forms that render any substantial quantity earlier as undefined.

So let’s determine likely earlier choices given in the responses and divisions to check:

\(-3/4\), \(4/3\), \(-4/3\), \(3/4\)

From typical quadratics, we could check for creating undefined within typical limits, however, your presented notation may actually encourage the alternative setting of division.

If we clarify you find expressions leading to the fraction patterns and divide under and solve the mixed resolution setups of \[
4 - 3x
\]
to isolate such fractions or terms setting invalid contexts yielding division by limits of any zeros.

In standard interpretations, without additional context or div structure direct leads to signs into zero outcomes, I’m unable to validate the answer directly towards undefined.

However please clarify if any conflicting equations suggest direct out with rational constructions point being attack zones to verify specific equations point.

If these lead into fractional divisions that simplify incorrectly while providing resolution zero like any defined outputs, strictly:
The answer choice could be manipulated leading towards undefined.

If you're unsure what value leads this equation unclear checks, please provide the full concrete structure of the original equation’s frame leading within rational forms.

I apologize for any confusion earlier. To directly answer your question regarding which value makes the equation \( -5 = 4 - 3x(4 - 3x) \) undefined, we first need to clarify the equation.

If you meant:
\[
-5 = 4 - 3x^2
\]
and we're looking for values of \( x \) that make the expression undefined, we should check if there's any division by zero present in the context.

From your provided choices, it seems you might be considering:
- \(-\frac{3}{4}\)
- \(\frac{4}{3}\)
- \(-\frac{4}{3}\)
- \(\frac{3}{4}\)

None of these directly make that equation undefined since there is no division in the original equation as presented. However, if we had a scenario where \( x \) could create a division by zero, we would find that specific value.

Assuming there was division in the original expression and you mean:
\[
4 - 3x(4 - 3x) = 0
\]
leading to denominators that cause undefined conditions – check in fractional evaluations.

Given the context, none of these will lead to undefined for a rational check – unless more specific information from your side suffices.

To best provide conclusive work:

If none of the provided options cause division by zero for the adjusted cases, sensibly select based on typical algebraic breakdowns toward quadratic placements, indeed leading unknown or problematic.

If strictly having to choose, verifying extends to choice leads on behaviorally critical test for any definitions alongside standards (not directly deriving undefined points to those) -

However, please let me know if another expression or equation reformed tells distinctly.

To give the simplest context clear, none of your listed values ends up causing undefined in the equation stated, unless directed simply toward numerator decay itself may form crucial building insights.

In conclusion actively say:

- If focusing on quadratics or expressed fractions treating denoting concepts set lead to evaluate structural reviews your expression can't lead any into invalid output safely through.

Again apologize if my previous messages led to uncertainty, let me know if further clarification needed!
