Answer

$${y^2} = - 16x$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{The focus at }}\left( {3,0} \right){\text{ and Vertex }}\left( {0,0} \right) \cr & {\text{Then the parabola has the equation }}{y^2} = 4px \cr & {\text{With focus }}\left( {p,0} \right) \cr & \left( {3,0} \right)\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,p = 3 \cr & {\text{The equation of the parabola is:}} \cr & {y^2} = 4\left( 3 \right)x \cr & {y^2} = 12x \cr} $$
