I cant seem to figure out what the equation to figure this question out is if someone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Another infinite line of charge with charge density λ2 = -6.3 μC/cm parallel to the y-axis is now added at x = 4.4 cm as shown.

What is the new value for Ex(P), the x-component of the electric field at point P?

other values:
λ1 = 2.1 μC/cm
height = 8.7 cm
radius = 8.8 cm
