Answer: The required equation of the line is
5y=x.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the equation of the line passing through the points (0, 0) and (15, 3).

We know that

the equation of a line passing through two points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by

y-b=(d-b)/(c-a)(x-a).

Therefore, the equation of the line passing through the points (0, 0) and (15, 3) is given by

$y-0=(3-0)/(15-0)(x-0)\\\\\\\Rightarrow y=(3)/(15)x\\\\\\\Rightarrow y=(1)/(5)x\\\\.\Rightarrow 5y=x.$

Thus, the required equation of the line is
5y=x.
