How to find a intersecting point in a GUI?

Hello,
I've made a app which plots a projectile motion and a fixed line at y=2. See figure below.
I wish to mark the intersection point, and show the x-coordinate. Unfortunatly I don't know how.
My question is, how can I mark the intersecting point (and preferably show its x-coordinate)?
I've included the code to make te plot.
greetings,
Ries
% Button pushed function: PlotButton
function PlotButtonPushed(app, event)
%formula and variables
x0 = 0;
y0= app.Y_0EditField.Value;
v=app.VmsEditField.Value;
angle=app.AngledegEditField.Value*(pi./180);
g=9.81;
t= 0:0.0001:3;
x=x0+v*cos(angle)*t;
y=y0+v*sin(angle)*t-(g*t.^2)/2;
%Hold when 'hold'button is pressed
if app.holdButton.Value==0
hold(app.UIAxes, 'off')
else
hold(app.UIAxes, 'on')
end
%plot graph on GUI
plot(app.UIAxes,x,y)
yline(app.UIAxes,2);
%axis appearance
app.UIAxes.XMinorGrid = 'on'
app.UIAxes.YMinorGrid = 'on'
app.UIAxes.XGrid = 'on'
app.UIAxes.YGrid = 'on'
app.UIAxes.XLim = [0 4];
app.UIAxes.YLim = [0 6];
end

You can provide the (x,y) coordinates of the two lines and it will provide the intersection point.
"how can I mark the intersecting point (and preferably show its x-coordinate)"
hold on
plot(x0,y0,'m*')
or
xline(x0,'-k','xIntersection')
yline(y0,'-k','yIntersection')
