The origin (0,0) is the most effective point to test because it is simple to substitute into the inequality. If the origin satisfies the inequality, then the region containing the origin is the solution. If not, the opposite region is the solution. For this inequality, substituting (0,0) gives $2(0)^2 + 3(0)^2 > 5$, which simplifies to $0 > 5$, which is false. Therefore, the region that does not contain the origin is the correct solution.
