I need to create a teeter totter type motion in a PowerPoint presentation. I
have a simple triangle as a base and a line across it. I need the line to
rock back and forth if possible. If you have any ideas, please help...

Thanks!
 
If you are using PowerPoint 2002 or newer, you can use a slightly customized
Spin effect.

Draw your line with one end in the down position.
Select the line and click SlideShow => Custom Animations => Add Effect =>
Emphasis => More Effects... => Spin (under Basic)
Now select the spin animation and click on the pulldown triangle and select
Effect Options
Change the Amount to 45 by clicking on the triangle pulldown and selecting
the number in the Custom box and replacing it with 45. It is very important
that you hit enter after the 45 or it will not accept your input.
Check the smooth start, smooth end and auto-reverse.
Click on the timing tab.
Change the speed to slow, the Repeat to 'until end of slide'

Try it. You will probably need to adjust the 45 degrees to something else
and may want to play with the speed and see-saw size.
