The value of a is between 0 and 1.
To find the midpoint of a line use the midpoint formula which is M = (x1+x2/2 , y1 +y2/2) After plugging in the coordinates for your variables you should get (-1+5/2, -1+2/2) This simplifies to (2, 1/2) which is the coordinates for the middle point of the base XY.
Let's take the number as x.
two-fifths of a number = 2x / 5
decreased by 3 = (2x/5) - 3
(2x/5) - 3
(2*25/5) - 3
(2*5) - 3
10 - 3
