Answer:

$- \bigg(3a - \frac{5}{2} b) \bigg)^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$15ab-9a^2-6 \frac{1}{4} b^2 \\ \\ = 15ab-(3a)^2-\frac{6 \times 4 + 1}{4} b^2 \\ \\ = 15ab-(3a)^2-\frac{24+ 1}{4} b^2 \\ \\ = 15ab-(3a)^2-\frac{25}{4} b^2 \\ \\ = 15ab- (3a)^2- \bigg(\frac{5}{2} b \bigg)^2 \\ \\ = - \{ - 15ab + (3a)^2 + \bigg(\frac{5}{2} b \bigg)^2 \} \\ \\ = - \{ (3a)^2 + \bigg(\frac{5}{2} b \bigg)^2 - 15ab \} \\ \\ = - \bigg(3a - \frac{5}{2} b \bigg)^{2}$
