What is the y value when it crosses the x axis?
Sub that in l1 and solve for x.
1 mark is about right.

Damn I even found out that y should be zero, but I thought I needed to do more things because of the question mentioning perpendicular lines. Thanks for being my third eye man

Presumably the second (perpendicular) line is only used in later parts of the question?
