Given a graph G = (V,E) its complement G is defined to be (V,E) where E = V{2} \ E. That is: a graph on the same vertex-set as G where two vertices are joined in G if and only if they are not joined in G. Prove that if two graphs G₁ & G2 are isomorphic, then their complements G₁ & G2 are isomorphic.
