Answer:

new budget line which is steeper than the original one.

Explanation:

I drew the both budget lines in order to show the effect of the decrease in income.      

The new budget line shifts inward and it is slightly more steep than the original budget line because the consumer can only purchase 7 tangerines, he cannot purchase 7.5. This slight difference makes the slope steeper. The total possible quantity of avocados diminished by 25%, while the total possible quantity of tangerines diminished by 30%.
