First, plot the vertex and the focus to understand the orientation of the parabola.
In this case, we have a parabola that opens to the right. The form of the equation for this type of parabola is:

where the vertex is at ( , ) and is the distance from the vertex to the focus.
For the given problem, we have vertex ( , ) and focus ( , )
( , )=( , ) and the distance from the vertex to the focus
. Therefore, the required equation is:
