Answer:

Displacement

Explanation:

The distance between an object and a certain reference point is called displacement. This is not to be confused with distance, which represents the total distance the object has travelled to get a certain point, regardless of how long it is. Displacement always represents the shortest distance (a straight line) between the initial and final points.
