Meaning of this quote he had no spur to prick the sides of his intent?
This quote from Shakespeare's Macbeth means that the man lacked motivation or ambition to take action on his intentions. The "spur" symbolizes the internal drive or push needed to propel him forward.
Choose one example of imagery from Act I of Macbeth. Why does Shakespeare use this image How does it help us understand the play's action and-or characters?
"I have no spur to prick the sides of my intent save vaulting ambition . . ." There are two images here, one of a spur which is used to prick the sides of a horse to make him go forward, and the idea of vaulting, of jumping over an obstacle. Compare this image with "The Prince of Cumberland! That is a step on which I must fall down or else o'erleap." Again we have the idea of jumping ahead over an obstacle. This image is consistent with the idea of primogeniture in the inheritance of a crown, an established value in seventeenth century England (although not in eleventh-century Scotland), and one which was of considerable concern in the face of a failed terrorist attempt to kill the king, which took place immediately before the play was written.

How does Macbeth explain his desire to be king at all costs?
Strangely enough, he doesn't. In fact he says explicitly that his desire to be king is not worth the cost of murdering Duncan. "I have no spur to prick the sides of my intent save vaulting ambition which o'erleaps itself." Therefore he tells his wife "we will proceed no further in this business." He is just not that ambitious. But she is and she knows just what buttons to push to get him to agree to the murder. Please note that she does not play on his ambition, which is insignificant, but rather on his sense of manliness. In order to understand this play you need to read or watch Act I Scene 7 over and over and over.
