Over an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from two, a cubic Weierstrass model with distinct roots becomes this form by sending two roots to zero and one, then scaling Y by a square root of the resulting nonzero coefficient. The third root becomes λ∈/{0,1}. The point [0:1:0] is a flex and the curve is a genus one curve.
