I stole this question from a math tutorial on usyd, it had that restriction. I'm guessing because if b=0 then the function is a straight line and the only case for its own inverse is the trivial y=x

I don't think y=x is possible for this question.
Just checking - is the answer c=1, no restriction on a,b?
In which case your trivial answer would be y=1-x

Just did the question, that is what I got

To be fair they are very easy for MATH1901 lol

So we draw a diagram

Look at vector AB

Now

vec(AC)/vec(BC) = alpha/beta

(v-z)/(w-v) = alpha/beta

v(beta) - z(beta) = (w)alpha - (v)alpha

v(alpha + beta) = (w)alpha + z(beta)

v = (bz+aw)/(a+b) as required!!!

z = A(x1=Re(z),y1=Im(z)), w=B(x2=Re(w),y2=(Im(w)), v= C(x=Re(v),y=Im(v)), ratio of: a:b (m:n)

v=C( (ax2+bx1)/(a+b),(ay2+by1)/(a+b) ) (Formula for point, p (v), that divides an interval)
v=Re(v)+Im(v)
Re(v)=(a*Re(w)+b*Re(z))/(a+b)
Im(v)=(a*Im(w)+b*Im(z))/(a+b)
v=((a*Re(w)+b*Re(z)+a*Im(w)+b*Im(z))/(a+b)
v=(a*(Re(w)+Im(w)) +b*(Re(z)+Im(z)))/(a+b)
Therefore v=(aw+bz)/(a+b)
