We are given the equation:

\[
4m \cdot 44 = 4 - 5
\]

### Step 1: Simplify the right-hand side of the equation
\[
4 - 5 = -1
\]

This simplifies the equation to:
\[
4m \cdot 44 = -1
\]

### Step 2: Solve for \( m \)
Now, divide both sides by 44 to isolate \( m \):
\[
4m = \frac{-1}{44}
\]

Next, divide both sides by 4:
\[
m = \frac{-1}{44 \cdot 4} = \frac{-1}{176}
\]

So, the value of \( m \) is:

\[
m = \frac{-1}{176}
\]

None of the provided answer choices (A: 99, B: -9-9, C: 11, D: 2020) match this result, suggesting there may be an error in the answer options.
