y=xi
Calculate the square root of -1 and get i.
xi=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
ix=y
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{ix}{i}=\frac{y}{i}
Divide both sides by i.
x=\frac{y}{i}
Dividing by i undoes the multiplication by i.
x=-iy
Divide y by i.
y=xi
Calculate the square root of -1 and get i.
