Make it into the form a² - 2ab + b² first. Then change to its equivalent, (a - b)².
4x² - 12xy + 9y² = 0
(2x)² - 2(2x)(3y) + (3y)² = 0
(2x - 3y)² = 0
2x - 3y = 0
2x = 3y
x/y = 3/2
Part b will be in the comments section.

4p² + 49q² = 28pq

(2p)² + (7q)² = 2(2p)(7q)

(2p)² - 2(2p)(7q) + (7q)² = 0

(2p - 7q)² = 0

2p - 7q = 0

2p = 7q

To write the ratio of p : q, the shortcut is to swap the constants.

p : q = 7 : 2


Otherwise,

2p = 7q
p/q = 7/2

It's basically saying p is 7 units and q is 2 units.
So p : q = 7 : 2
