@Margaret771

here's one way,


Ctrl+C, Ctrl+F, to make a copy of the shape
Grab the Rotate Tool (R), click on anchor A to set rotation point, then drag to rotate the segment to a horizontal position.





click on segment B, and Shift drag to the right, or tap on the Right Arrow to extend the segment to the desired length





grab the Rotate Tool (R) again, click and Anchor A to set rotation point, then drag Anchor C and drop it on top of Anchor D





remove original shape, or send copy to back to use it as guide to drag original shape's anchors onto it.

without drawing a path and convert it into guide you can use a guide line directly, by dragging a a a guide line from the ruler and rotate it to the extended direction and then snap your point over the guide line.

Were you having a problem when you are trying to move the points one at a time? Try selecting both points before you move them. Or you can select the path in between the points and move it.
