( 6 ) If a point moves in a plane , and its component velocity parallel to each of
two rectangular axes is proportional to its distance from that axis , the path is an
ellipse or hyperbola whose principal diameters coincide with those axes ...

proved ( § 82 ) to be motion in an ellipse of which the ranges of the component
motions are conjugate axes , and in which equal areas are described by the
radius - vector from the centre in equal times . Hence the proposition of 8o . 84.
