You should be able to determine the directrix because you are given the vertex and focus. Use the definition for a parabola and the Distance Formula to derive the equation for the parabola.
Deriving equation for parabola given focus and directrix, using definition of Parabola
Same thing, in case vertex not at the origin, and differently oriented
