Answer:

A

Explanation:

Multiply each component of the matrices by the scalar, that is


\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4a\\-4b\\\end{array}\right] =
\left[\begin{array}{ccc}180\\-510\\\end{array}\right]

Equate corresponding elements, that is

- 4a = 180 ⇒ a = - 45

- 4b = - 510 ⇒ b = 127.5

Hence


(a)/(b) =
(45)/(127.5) = -
(6)/(17) → A
