    you can use parenting:

    and you can also link using expressions

    Learn expression basics to link animations in Adobe After Effects

    both options are easy to set up using the parent & link column:

    you parent between layers, you link between properties. these are different things so you should explore what suits you better.

    Just to add to Roei's answer:

    In case the Parent & Link column is not visible in your timeline - rick click in the timeline column header area: Columns > Parent & Link.
