This is how I do: -Select in Path Selection Tool -Highlight your 2 paths -On top Bar hit Combine Shape button -Link them point to point with Freeform Pen tool (for easier snapping) or Pen Tool -Delete the unncessary points with Delete Anchor Point Tool, whereas necessary. (If you linked with Freeform Pen Tool, once cleaned the unnecessary anchor point, you will already get a straight line between them)

1. Select in Path Selection Tool
2. Highlight your 2 paths
3. On the top Bar hit the Combine Shape button
4. Link them point to point with Freeform Pen tool (for easier snapping) or Pen Tool
5. Delete the unncessary points with Delete Anchor Point Tool, whereas necessary.

This is my way:

Select in Path Selection Tool, Highlight your 2 paths Now on top Bar hit Combine Shape button. (now they can be moved around together as they were one).

Now you can link them point to point with Freeform Pen tool.

Delete the unncessary points with Delete Anchor Point Tool, whereas necessary.
