In general, talking about roof pitch, I have never heard or read about this term being used. Roof pitch is measured when you start at the leading edge of a roof and measure

towards the center of the house too 12 feet. Pitch is measured from a imaginary

parallel level line at the 12 foot mark, how many feet high the roof is at 12 feet is the pitch of a roof. If your roof is at 4 feet high at the 12 foot mark then the phrase would be- a 4/12 pitch.

What is the difference between pitch and slope?

In regards to roofs. "Pitch" is a ratio of the total rise of a roof over the total span of a building. "Slope" is a ratio of the total rise of a roof over "half" the total span of a building. A building 40 feet wide with a total roof rise of 10 feet (from the top of the supporting walls) has a pitch of 10/40 reduced to 1:4 A building of the same dimensions will have a slope of 1:2 or 6/12 on the imperial framing square.
