To determine the equation of the line passing through the origin that would be in the form of \(y = mx\), we first need to find the slope \(m\) of the given line that passes through the points (3, 3) and (8, 8).
The slope \(m\) is calculated using the formula:
\[ m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \]
Substituting the points (3, 3) and (8, 8) into the formula:
\[ m = \frac{8 - 3}{8 - 3} = \frac{5}{5} = 1 \]
Since the slope \(m\) is 1, the equation of the line passing through the origin is:
\[ y = 1x \quad \text{or simply} \quad y = x \]
Thus, the answer is:
\[ y = x \]
