Let us take any parameteric point  B\left ( 2\cos\theta,3\sin\theta \right )  on the ellipse

Let  P_{A}\\ be the mid-point of  A\left ( -3,-5 \right ) \&\: B(h,k)\\

So   h=\frac{2\cos\theta-3}{2}\Rightarrow \cos\theta= \frac{2h+3}{2}\\

       k=\frac{3\sin\theta-5}{2}\Rightarrow \sin\theta=\frac{2k+5}{3}\\

Square and add;

\cos^{2}\theta+\sin^{2}\theta=\left ( \frac{2h+3}{2} \right )^{2}+\left ( \frac{2k+5}{3} \right )^{2}=1\\

Replace  h\rightarrow x\&\; k\rightarrow y\\

\Rightarrow \frac{4x^{2}+12x+9}{4}+\frac{4y^{2}+20y+25}{9}=1\\

\Rightarrow 36x^{2}+108x+81+16y^{2}+80y+100-36\\

\Rightarrow 36x^{2}+16y^{2}+108x+80y+145=0
