Thinking about the given points and what they are, this parabola opens to the left. The form of the equation can be shown as x=a%28y-k%29%5E2%2Bh, with vertex (h,k) and a%3C0.

According to the standard form and knowing the vertex, the equation progresses to x=a%28y-0%29%5E2%2B7, which is highlight_green%28x=ay%5E2%2B7%29.

Can you take this solution the rest of the way, yourself?
