= Formal-group morphism induced by an isogeny

An isogeny $\phi:E\to E'$ sends the identity to the identity, so substituting the formal coordinates into $t'=-x'/y'$ gives a series $f(t)\in tK[[t]]$. Compatibility with the elliptic-curve group laws gives
$$
f(F_E(X,Y))=F_{E'}(f(X),f(Y)),
$$
making $f$ a morphism of formal group laws.
