Find a center and radius of circle that is an image of Mobius Transformation of real axis

I need to find a center and radius of a circle that is an image of real axis under homography



$$ h(z)= frac{z-z_1}{z-z_2} $$



I found out that homography preserves symetric points, therefore because
$$ infty quad and quad 0 $$ are symmetric with respect to generalised circle (real axis) then their images are also symmetric with respect to image of real axis
$$ h(infty)=1 quad and quad h(0)=frac{z_1}{z_2} $$



Any hints or solutions would be appreciated.

          The inverse funtion to $f$ is equal $$g(z) =h^{-1} (z) =frac{z_2 -z_1}{z-1}$$ thus $$f({z: mbox{Im}z =0} ) =g^{-1} ({z: mbox{Im}z =0})$$

            That's not quite right. $0$ is symmetric to itself wrt the real line, and ditto for $infty$. Take the point $z_2$ instead. First consider what happens when $z_2 in mathbb R$. If $z_2 notin mathbb R$, then you can exploit the symmetry to find the point which is mapped to the center of the circle. The distance between the center and the image of $infty$ is the radius.
