The average life expectancy in the United States, L, has been rising steadily over the past few decades, as shown in the table below. Let t be the number of years since 1920, (so t=0 represents the year 1920).

Year	1920	1930	1940	1950	1960	1970	1980	1990
Life expectancy	55.4	57.1	61.4	63.4	66.3	69.7	71.2	75

(a) Find the equation of the regression line.
