Remove column based on row value

Hello all,
A bit new to MATLAB but I have a matrix M that is [2x19]. In the first row are x-values derived from another function, but I want to return a new matrix that excludes the columns in M with an x-value larger than 4 in this case
100 0.909090909090909 1 1.01010101010101 1.13636363636364 1.29870129870130 1.50000000000000 1.51515151515152 1.81818181818182 2 2.27272727272727 2.50000000000000 3 3.03030303030303 3.50000000000000 4 4.50000000000000 4.54545454545455 5

I know it might seem like a simple question but I can't seem to use the M = M(M(1,:)<=4, M(:,1) nonmenclature correctly. Would appreciate any help

A = [1 2 5; 3 4 6; 2 8 9]
A = 3x3
1 2 5 3 4 6 2 8 9
<mw-icon class=""></mw-icon>
<mw-icon class=""></mw-icon>
colsToKeep = ~any(A > 4, 1)
colsToKeep = 1x3 logical array
1 0 0
B = A(:, colsToKeep)
B = 3x1
1 3 2

Thanks so much, I was able to get it with your help.
Great! You were on the right track with the logical indexing. any and all are quite useful functions when performing logical indexing.
