A 1/4" per foot is standard, therefore in twenty feet the furthest point would be 5" below the high point. You can make it flatter (3 or 4 inch drop) but it would require greater perfection in concrete placement, perhaps beyond reason.

If the slope is in the 8' direction (which would be the usual) the pitch would be 1/8 to 1/4 " per foot (preferably 1/4" per foot) so 8 x 1/4" = 2"lower at the outer edge than where it touches the house. always best to pitch 1/4 " at least.

Also -

Larger sections of concrete can have less slope. The finisher has to know what he is doing. I've done 100s of yards using 1" in 10' as a minimum.
