Substitute 12 ft for b1, 365EI for h1, 12 ft for b2, and (1,630EI−365EI) for h2.
ΔB=ΔBA=−[(12×365EI)(122)+12×12×(1,630EI−365EI)(23×12)]=−87,000 kips⋅ft3EI
Substitute 29,000 ksi for E and 6,000 in.4 for I.
ΔB=ΔBA=−87,000 kips⋅ft3×(12 in.1 ft)329,000×6,000=−0.864 in.≃0.86 in.(↓)

Determine the slope at D using the relation;
θD=θE−θDE
Substitute −3,690 kips-ft2EI for θE and −3,690 kips-ft2EI for θDE.
θD=−13,780 kips-ft2EI−(−3,690 kips-ft2EI)=−10,090 kips-ft2EI
