Describe the hyperbolic metric on the upper half-plane . Show that any Möbius transformation that preserves is an isometry of this metric.
Suppose that are distinct and that the hyperbolic line through and meets the real axis at . Show that the hyperbolic distance between and is given by , where is the cross-ratio of the four points , taken in an appropriate order.
