Answer

$${x^2} = \frac{9}{4}y$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{through the point }}\left( { - 3,4} \right),{\text{ opens up}} \cr & {\text{The equation opens up}},{\text{ then the equation is of the form }} \cr & {x^2} = 4py,\,\,\,p > 0 \cr & {\text{We know the point }}\left( { - 3,4} \right) \cr & {\left( { - 3} \right)^2} = 4p\left( 4 \right) \cr & 9 = 16p \cr & p = \frac{9}{{16}} \cr & {\text{,then}} \cr & {x^2} = 4\left( {\frac{9}{{16}}} \right)y \cr & {x^2} = \frac{9}{4}y \cr} $$
