Answer

False

Work Step by Step

The initial value of $x$ is $7$ at $x(7)$ while the value of $y$ is $-7$ at $t=-3$. From Definition 7.1.16, if all the auxiliary conditions are applied at same time $t_0$ then initial-value problem is formed. Hence, the given first-order linear system is not an initial-value problem.
