For the given Möbius transformation, the fixed point equation is , hence
For the general Möbius transformation, its finite fixed points satisfy
With and nonzero discriminant, the quadratic formula gives the two distinct fixed points of a Möbius transformation:
The fixed-point equation for also gives . Therefore
Dividing yields the conjugation of a Möbius transformation with two distinct fixed points:
Neither factor in this quotient vanishes, since . The formula extends over the Riemann sphere, including the transformation's pole. For the special transformation and the ordering , .
