True. Conjugate the unique fixed point to infinity. The resulting map lies in the Affine subgroup of the Möbius group, so it has the form . A unique fixed point forces and ; otherwise would have a finite fixed point as well. Conjugation by the scaling changes into . Thus a nonidentity Möbius transformation with one fixed point is conjugate to a translation.
