For f(z)=(az+b)/(cz+d) with distinct finite fixed points of a Möbius transformation α,β, the fixed-point equation gives f(z)−α=(a−cα)(z−α)/(cz+d). Dividing the two identities gives k=(a−cα)/(a−cβ), which is nonzero because (a−cα)(a−cβ)=ad−bc=0. The identities extend over the Riemann sphere. This conjugates the transformation to a dilation.
