If you differentiate y′, you have:
y=y
Which has the solutions:
y=C1cos(t)+C2sin(t)

Introduce the complex dependent variable z=x+iy, then your ode is
z=iz,
where ′ is again the differentiation w.r.t. the independent variable t.The characteristic polinomial is P(λ)=λi, so the general solution is
z(t)=α.eit,
for an arbitrary αC.

Let X(t)=(x(t)y(t)) soX=(0110)X.This has solution X(t)=exp((0tt0))X(0)=(0etet0)(x(0)y(0))so x(t)=y(0)et and y(t)=x(0)et.
