A translation.
translation
Suppose the specified line has gradient m. Also suppose the specified distance is d.Then x = sqrt[d2/(1 + m2)] and y = m*x.A translation, by a distance x in the horizontal direction and y=mx in the vertical direction will move the point by the specified distance in the direction of the specified line.
An isometry that moves or maps every point of the plane the same distance and direction is a translation, which is one of 4 transformations that can be plotted on the Cartesian plane.
Reflection
An ellipse is a conic section, a curving line which is the path of a point that moves in such a way that the sum of its distance from two fixed points is constant.... so no - there are not 4 straight angles in an ellipse, nor any straight bits at all.

translation
A translation.
It is a translation on the Cartesian plane
A translation of a shape moves it in the same direction and the same distance from each given point.
A translation moves every point on a shape in the same distance and in the same direction on the Cartesian plane
velocity
The direction a shadow points turns 15 degrees in one hour. The distance the end of the shadow moves depends on the length of the shadow.
A translation of shape on the coordinated grid moves it in the same distance and in the same direction
Suppose the specified line has gradient m. Also suppose the specified distance is d.Then x = sqrt[d2/(1 + m2)] and y = m*x.A translation, by a distance x in the horizontal direction and y=mx in the vertical direction will move the point by the specified distance in the direction of the specified line.
'Speed' . If you also specify the direction in which it moves by that distance, then you have 'velocity'.
