Tis is the chart information.

x= 2007 Q4, y=2

x= 2008 Q1, y=-2

x= 2008 Q2,y=1

x= 2008 Q3,y=-4

x= 2008 Q4, y=-9

x= 2009 Q1, y=-5

To determine which period is associated with the highest unemployment rate, we need to identify the quarter with the highest negative value for "y" because a negative value for "y" typically represents a decrease in GDP, which is often associated with higher unemployment. From the data provided, the period with the highest negative value for "y" is "2008 Q4" with a value of "-9." Therefore, the period associated with the highest unemployment rate is "2008 Q4."
