The slope or deflection at any point on the beam is equal to the resultant of the slopes or deflections at that point caused by each of the load acting separately.
 

Rotation and Deflection for Common Loadings

Case 1: Concentrated load at the free end of cantilever beam
superposition-case-01.jpgMaximum Moment
$M = -PL$

Slope at end
$\theta = \dfrac{PL^2}{2EI}$

Maximum deflection
$\delta = \dfrac{PL^3}{3EI}$

Deflection Equation ($y$ is positive downward)
$EI \, y = \dfrac{Px^2}{6}(3L - x)$

Another method of determining the slopes and deflections in beams is the area-moment method, which involves the area of the moment diagram.
