A motion path is a method of moving objects on a slide. PowerPoint allows its users to add motion to an object in the slide. You can add motion to an object from the Animation tab by selecting an object.
Basically, the motion path is a part of advanced animation that helps to take an object in a moving state. This object can be any text, image or graphics. When you add a motion to an object, it appears on click in different ways like in a circle, spin, or anything else.
Motion paths let you animate objects moving along curves and complex shapes. Similarly to lines drawn with the pen tool, you define motion paths by setting anchor points which are then connected by straight or curved lines.
