From the given points, we get the following equations
3 6 b + 6 e + f = 0
3 6 a + 6 d + f = 0
a + 9 b + 3 c + d + 3 e + f = 0
9 a + b + 3 c + 3 d + e + f = 0
1 0 0 a + b − 1 0 c + 1 0 d − e + f = 0
These are 5 equations and 6 variables, so you can't get values of all of them exactly. But we can eliminate 5 variables, giving each variable in terms of the 6 t h variable. After getting each variable in terms of a (Which is a long algebraic manipulation, too long to type), we get
b = a , c = 1 1 5 2 a , d = e = 1 1 − 6 5 a , f = 1 1 − 6
Now, as a given statement is g c d ( a , b , c , d , e , f ) = 1 , we conclude that a , b , c , d , e , f are integers, so for smallest value, we will multiply it by 11 directly (no one said it should be positive)
Giving a = 1 1 , b = 1 1 , c = 5 2 , d = − 6 5 , e = − 6 5 , f = − 6
They all sum up to give − 6 2
