The easiest way to fix the line you're working with is to select all points and go to your right-hand panel and enter one new number in the y-box in the translate part of the transform panel... ;)
Stay safe, sane & healthy!

i think the quickiest way to draw it perfect paraller to an axis is to drawing the line with the snap to the grid turned on.
