Since the point (-1,-3) is 3 units from the x-axis,
and since we know that 3-4-5 right triangles have 
a hypotenuse which is 5 units long, we draw two 
3-4-5 right triangles by using the vertical 3-unit 
line as the vertical side and draw the horizontal 
side 4 units long, like these two cases:

   
 
Answer: (3,0) and (-5,0)
