I think indeed that for plotting, obsession with Newton iteration as in my answer is a bit irrelevant as only 5 decimal places is already precise enough. But out of curioosity could you give Lua conversion of the code in my answer? (Sadly I did only explicitly the case of e^x = mx in your notations). I am unable to do it myself.

@user691586 I updated my answer to include Newton’s method. Choosing a suitable initial guess required a bit more care, but everything works.

+1. I've taken the liberty of editing your code to insert meta instructions to highlight the Lua code chunks. Feel free to revert.
