A figure has a vertex at (-1, -3). If the figure has line symmetry about the x-axis, what are the coordinates of another vertex of the figure?

|dw:1408849068326:dw| Sorry for the shoddy diagram. The point at (-1,-3) is your original vertex and you want to find the other point, as shown in the diagram. Considering the symmetry is about the x axis, the x value would stay the same but the y value should be the negative of the original y value. Always draw a diagram to help yourself.

Sorry, by negative I mean opposite sign (multiply anything by -1 and it should give an opposite sign).
