You would do well to study these examples and you will be able to make quick use of the form of the equation in which you have yours. Deriving the equation of a parabola from given focus and directrix using Distance Formula will give you a starting equation which can be put into the form you have.

parabola equation derivation given focus and directrix, vertex at Origin

Same idea, different orientation, vertex NOT at Origin
