Work = P.dV
Work is the function of Pressure which is eventually the path fucntion and therfore Work would be the path function too.
Further in Mechanics Work is Force x Displacment from which again,
Force is ath dependent.
 
Heat is nothing but Work in somwhat in other form and hecne a path function.
