* $$(\sqrt{2}, \frac{31}{3})$$

As y = 5x + 3 is linear equation
when x is rational y is rational
when x is irrational y is combination of irrational..

Here I can pick E without plugging in the values.
A,B,D -- > both x and y are rational number.. possibly they lie on the line
C --> x =2sqrt(2) y= 10sqrt(2)+3 both are irrational numbers(sqrts0 .. possible thy lie on the line.

E -- x=sqrt(2) Y=13.. x is irrational number y is rational number.. not a soltuion.
so you can plug in E first to double check.

When need to plug in always pick E to start with. GMAT wants us to start at A and run through E
