That's the requirement in my state as well but I think you missed the part on the different codes have different requirements.
Don't get frodo started.

MA code is 1/4” per foot on 3” and below and 1/8”per foot on 4” and larger.

Isn't the total developed length affected by the fact that part of it is with 3" pipe and part is with 2" pipe? i.e. different sloping limits even using International code.
BTW...does anyone know what the applicable code is for the OP? The fact that he had mentioned 6' kinda implies it's not the International.

3'' and 2'' are both 1/4 per foot

he is from Virginia, which according to Zanne's sticky, is IPC

Comment #24 was in response to you guys when you were saying it was 1/8"/ft and started talking about developed length.
I do believe International Plumbing Code IS 1/8" for 3" pipe.
I think he added his location after the original post.
