5x +2y = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose 'a' is the x-intercept of the line.
Then the slope is given by the slope formula ...
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)
m = (0 -5)/(a -2)
And the y-intercept is ...
b = y -mx = 5 -(-5/(a-2))(2) = 5 +10/(a -2)
The area of the triangle is half the product of 'a' and 'b', so is ...
A = 1/2ab
A = 1/2(a)(5 +10/(a -2)) = 2.5a +5a/(a-2)
The area is minimized when the derivative of this is zero.
A' = 2.5 -10/(a -2)^2 = 0
Solving for 'a' gives ...
(a -2)^2 = 10/2.5 = 4
a = 2 + 2 = 4 . . . . . . . . . . . x-intercept
b = 5 +10/(4 -2) = 10 . . . . . y-intercept
m = -5/(4 -2) = -5/2 . . . . . . slope
An equation of the line is ...
y = -5/2x +10 . . . . . slope-intercept form
5x +2y = 20 . . . . . standard form

You may have noticed that the x-and y-intercepts are double the x- and y-values of the given point. That is, the given point is the midpoint of the hypotenuse of the triangle with minimum area. That is the general solution of this sort of problem.
