Answer:

(1,-3)

Explanation:

The reason why it would be (1,-3) is because (1,3) is in the first quadrant which is (+,+) and when it is reflected across the x axis, it is then placed into the fourth quadrant which is (+,-). So you need to make the 3 negative and then it will be reflecting across the x axis
