What might be the best way to cut out all observations left of a particular line on a scatter plot.

 

I do not know the equation for the line.

Find the equation of the line, you only need two points. 

 

Recreate your graph with grid lines at a finer interal to help you find the equation.

You need to calculate that line's start point and slope on your own.
Calculated X and Y 's 90 percentile Maybe.




proc sgplot data=sashelp.class;
scatter x=weight y=height/ datalabel=name;
lineparm x=120 y=0 slope=-1 / lineattrs=graphdata2(thickness=4);

data temp;
 set per;
 slope=-p_height/p_weight;

data want;
 set class temp;
