Three (not necessarily distinct) points in the plane which have integer coordinates between $ 1$ and $2020$, inclusive, are chosen uniformly at random. The probability that the area of the triangle with these three vertices is an integer is $a/b$ in lowest terms. If the three points are collinear, the area of the degenerate triangle is $0$. Find $a + b$.

The numbers -2, 4, 6, 9 and 12 are rearranged according to these rules:
1. The largest isn't first, but it is in one of the first three places.
2. The smallest isn't last, but it is in one of the last three places.
3. The median isn't first or last.
