We have the next information

Parabola that opens to the left

Vertex a the origin (0,0)

Focus (-4,0)

then we will have the next form for the equation of the parabola

[tex]y^2=4px[/tex]

where p is -4

[tex]\begin{gathered} y^2=4(-4)x \\ y^2=-16x \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

therefore if we isolate the x we obtain

[tex]x=-\frac{1}{16}y^2[/tex]
