The following diagram shows four adjacent $2\times 2$ squares labeled $1, 2, 3$, and $4$. A line passing through the lower left vertex of square $1$ divides the combined areas of squares $1, 3$, and $4$ in half so that the shaded region has area $6$. The difference between the areas of the shaded region within square $4$ and the shaded region within square $1$ is $\frac{p}{q}$ , where $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $p + q$. [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/7/4/b9554ccd782af15c680824a1fbef278a4f736b.png[/img]
