A curve \(C\) is given by the equation
$$\sin x + \cos y = 0.5 \quad - \frac { \pi } { 2 } \leqslant x < \frac { 3 \pi } { 2 } , - \pi < y < \pi$$
A point \(P\) lies on \(C\).
The tangent to \(C\) at the point \(P\) is parallel to the \(x\)-axis.
Find the exact coordinates of all possible points \(P\), justifying your answer.
