Move an object within a limited range of an axis using a slider.

Hi, I am trying to move an object within a limited range of an axis. for example: Minimum Range = [50, 540]; Range Max= [1000, 540]; I look for it to move within this range by moving a slider with a value from 0 to 100. Try doing the following:

minVal = [50, 540];
maxVal = [900, 540];
if (thisComp.layer("Adjustment Layer 1").effect("Slider Control"), minVal, maxVal)

I know maybe I'm very lost, I would really appreciate the help.

Probably like this:

minVal = [50,540];
maxVal = [900,540];
s = thisComp.layer("Adjustment Layer 1").effect("Slider Control")("Slider");
linear(s,0,100,minVal,maxVal)

    mSlider=thisComp.layer("XYZ").effect("Slider");

     

    minVal = [50, 540];
    maxVal = [900, 540];

     

    X=linear(mSlider,0,100,minVal[0];maxVal[0]);

    Y=linear(mSlider,0,100,minVal[1];maxVal[1]);

     

    [X,Y]
