How to calculate the slope for a roof

I am trying to calculate a roof slope on a shed I am going to build. The dimensions of the shed is 8 ft. at the front rising up to 14 ft at the back. The shed is 20 ft from front to back.

Slope rises 72" in twenty foot so 72 divided by 20 equals 3.4" rises per foot.
