The linear function of the cost needs to be determined.

Using the given cost function,

C(x) = mx + b, where m = cost of each toy; x = number of toys produced; b = innitial cost of manufacturing:

C(x) = 5x + 2600

To answer the second part of the question: cost of producing 2 toys, we have:

C(x) = 5(2) + 26000

C(x) = 10 + 2600

C(x) = $2610
