Let's choose A1 as being the middle of the opposite side of A vertex, BC.
The coordinates of A1 are:
xA1=(xB+xC)/2=(2+2)/2=2
yA1= (yB+yC)/2=(3-5)/2=-1
In order to write the equation of the line AA1, we have to know also the slope mAA1=(yA1-yA)/(xA1-xA)
mAA1= (-1-2)/(2-1)=-3
The equation of the line which passes through the points AA1 and is the median of the side BC:
y-yA=mAA1*(x-xA)
Y-2=(-3)*(x-1)
y-2+3x-3=0
y+3x-5=0
