When designing a display to show Cartesian coordinates, it helps to take a couple of
before and after values like the ones in Table 5-1. You can then use them to solve for
scale (K) and offset (C) using two equations with two unknowns.
The usual steps for two equations in two unknowns are:
(1) Substitute your two before and after data points into separate copies of the equation.
