How would you prove that Newton's Method applied to f(x)=ax+b converges in one step? Would it be because the derivative of f(x) is simply a?

Prove that Newton's Method applied to f ( x ) = a x + b converges in one step? Would it be because the derivative of f ( x ) is simply a?

Write down the formula
N ( x ) = x f ( x ) f ( x )
for this specific function and simplify.
In the course of that procedure, you will certainly use the fact that f ( x ) = a.
