b
Write B=diag(λ,λ−1) and q=λ2>0, so its Möbius transformation is z↦qz, with q=1. For z=u+iv, the Hyperbolic distance in the Poincare half-plane satisfies
coshρ(z,qz)=1+2ImzIm(qz)∣z−qz∣2​=1+2q(q−1)2​(1+v2u2​).
(1)
At z=i, the final parenthesis is 1. Since cosh is strictly increasing on nonnegative arguments, every z off the imaginary axis has
ρ(z,Bz)>ρ(i,Bi).​
