To identify the conic section represented by the equation \( y^2 - 3x + 4y + 7 = 0 \), we will rearrange it into a more recognizable form.

Starting from the original equation:

\[ y^2 + 4y - 3x + 7 = 0 \]

We can isolate the \(x\) term:

\[ 3x = y^2 + 4y + 7 \]

Divide through by 3:

\[ x = \frac{1}{3}y^2 + \frac{4}{3}y + \frac{7}{3} \]

This equation is in the form \(x = Ay^2 + By + C\), which represents a parabola in terms of \(y\).

Therefore, the conic section represented by the equation is:
