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!

ohh i found another way ...... u can press Ctrl and scale only in "Y" direction ....when it snaps to the line the line becomes straight :)

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.
