Covariance of relativistic free particle Lagrangian under Lorentz transformation

I think while doing the calculations, I have found the answer. @GK gave an answer but I think there is a subtle mistake in that approach because both q and $\tau$ are coupled transformations of x and …

Covariance of relativistic free particle Lagrangian under Lorentz transformation

How does the Lagrangian of a free particle: $$ L = - \sqrt{1- \Big(\frac{dx}{dt}\Big)^{2}} $$ transform under the co-ordinate transformation $(q,\tau)$? $$ q = \cosh(\psi)x + \sinh(\psi)t, $ …
