Q1 (Yes, you should have something before "sloping". Your sentence would read better as follows: "There is a summary about a graph in the conclusion, which indicates that the main sales period is in the early part of the year, which slopes (or "slumps") in the summer except for a sudden increase in August." Your other sentences all contain minor errors, but could read; "In 1970 the number of meals eaten in fast-food restaurants stood at 20000 per year, which was equaled the number of sit-down restaurants." .
