as the comments to your question mention you have not done the first step: system classification
- Is the system linear? We have to input three different signal in the system and compare the outputs: the two signals $x_1$ and $x_2$ and the sum signal $x_{1+2} = x_1 + x_2$
\begin{align}
y_1 &= (-1)^t x_1 \\
y_2 &= (-1)^t x_2 \\
y_{1+2} &= (-1)^t (x_1 + x_2) \\
\end{align}
and even at this point it is easy to see that $y_1 + y_2 = y_{1+2}$ that means the system is linear
- Is the system time variant? it's usually very easy to say yes here when your system is a function of the time (or n in your case) $z(t) = (-1)^t $ Mathematically you have to input a single signal $x(t)$ at two points in time and check if the system gives you different outputs at different times:
\begin{align}
y_1 &= (-1)^t x(t) \\
y_2 &= (-1)^t x(t-\Delta t) \\
\end{align}
to compare 1 and 2 you have to time shift the output of the first system to make sure they overlap the way you want.
\begin{align}
y_1 &= (-1)^t x(t) \\
y_{1-\Delta t} &= (-1)^{t - \Delta t} x(t - \Delta t) \\
y_2 &= (-1)^t x(t-\Delta t) \\
\end{align}
the comparison shows that those two are not the same, which means your system changes over time
\begin{align}
(-1)^{t - \Delta t} x(t - \Delta t) &= (-1)^t x(t-\Delta t) \\
(-1)^{t - \Delta t} &= (-1)^t \\
(-1)^{ - \Delta t} &= 1 \\
\end{align}
this is not true in general, that means your system is linear and time variant and you can not use the description of a LTI System. But there's a definition of the impulse response of a time variant system that you could use:
Time-varying "impulse response"
\begin{align}
y(t) = \int h(\tau, t) x(t - \tau) d\tau
\end{align}
since your system is memory less and kausal (i don't think there's a trivial mathematical proof for those two properties but it is easy to see), your time variant impulse response is rather simple:
\begin{align}
h(\tau, t) = \delta(\tau) (-1)^t
\end{align}
which leads to the collapse of the integral in the time variant convolution (just check the rules for integration over the dirac function if you don't remember them):
\begin{align}
y(t) = \int \delta(\tau) (-1)^t x(t - \tau) d\tau \\
y(t) = (-1)^t x(t)
\end{align}
And the last line ( and basically your first line) is the best description for linear memory less time variant systems - a simple multiplication with a time variant function or in general just:
\begin{align}
y(t) = x(t) z(t) \\
\end{align}
bye bye stackexchange you managed to annoy me enough in my first two answers for me to decide not to come back.
