Use find() on the second column of the matrix with the 'first' option, then use that index to return the corresponding value in the first column of the matrix.
X = randi([5 20],10,2);
I = find(X(:,2)>10,1,'first');
X(I,1)

a lot of thanks for help me,can you explain the code mr Wayne King:-). i need to learn from you.
X = randi([5 20],10,2);
why there are number ([5 20],10,2).
I just created some data to illustrate how to do it since I don't have your data and that is easier than me copying off your figure. I just created a 10x2 matrix of random integers between 5 and 20 with that. You don't need that line, you only need the lines:
I = find(X(:,2)>10,1,'first');
X(I,1)
but obviously, you need to use the name of your matrix.
ok.. thanks a lot sir.. now i'm understand what is it. :-). that mean i need use my matrix. ok. i'm get it.
