What happens to it's orbits if a satellite is in orbit around the Earth and it slows down?
If the speed of a satelite orbiting earth were to decrease, it's orbit would come closer to the earth, and eventually it would fall to the Earth. Space administratioins(like NASA) use calculus and whatever fancy term thay use for their math to try and make it land in a safe place. On the other hand, if it were to increase in speed, it would eventually leave Earth's orbit.

Why are satellite orbits depicted as sine-wave shapes?
The sine wave represents 360 degrees or a full circle. As the satellite revolves 360 degrees around the earth in its orbit this is how it is represented on a flat surface.
If a satellite orbiting just above the surface of the Earth orbits in about 1.5 hours then at about how many Earth radii from the Earth's center must a satellite orbit to have a period of 24 hours?
You can use Kepler's Third Law to calculate this.

Why is the moon called a satellite of earth?
A satellite is an object that orbits around a planet or body in space. There are artificial satellites and natural satellites. An artificial satellite is an object, like a space station, that has been set into orbit around a planet by humans. A natural satellite naturally finds its way into close orbit around a planet, like the moon naturally orbits the Earth.
