The graph shows the boundary lines y=x+5 and y=6x (green and blue), the axis of rotation y=2 (red), and the reflections of the boundary lines in the axis of rotation, y=-x-1 and y=-6x+4 (purple and gold).

The region being rotated is the region bounded by the green, blue, and red lines. When rotated about the red line, the sold formed is a cone with a smaller cone cut out of it.

The radius of the base of both cones is the distance from y=2 to the intersection of the green and blue lines, at (1,6); so the radius is 4.

The height of the large cone is 4; the height of the small cone is 2/3.

So the volume of the solid is
