Let be distinct elements of . Write down the Möbius map that sends to , respectively. [Hint: You need to consider four cases.]
Now let be another element of distinct from . Define the cross-ratio in terms of .
Prove that there is a circle or line through and if and only if the cross-ratio is real.
[You may assume without proof that Möbius maps map circles and lines to circles and lines and also that there is a unique circle or line through any three distinct points of
