I draw a curve between two vector of points, not a function, how can I get the x-value of a certain y-value of the curve?

When you say "get", do you mean from the vectors, or only from the curve?
If you mean from the data, you can do, for example
x(y==0.25)
(You might need to be careful if y is not exactly 0.25, due to floating point precision.)

My solution assumes the y value you are looking for is in the original vector. Sky Sartorius's solution is preferred if the y value is not in the original vector, but you want to interpolate.

This is a table lookup / interpolation problem. For your data, you'll first have to make sure there aren't any repeated y values.
yQuery = -2.6e8; % Example query point.
[Y,ind] = unique(y,'stable')
X = x(ind);
x = interp1(Y,X,yQuery)
