In Impress snap options are on by default. That affects changes done with the
mouse. Disable the options in menu View > Snap Guides.

There a several ways to determine exact position and size of a line:

A) To make arrow keys only affect one point, select the line, then press
Ctrl+Tab. Then the first point should slowly blink. Now you can move this point
with the arrow keys. Next Ctrl+Tab goes to the next point.

B) Do it numerically by using the Position&Size dialog. Set the Base point for
the Position so, that it corresponds to the first point of the line. Enter the
coordinates. OK. Again Position&Size dialog. Set the Base point for the Size
and the Base point for the Position so that it corresponds to the first point
of the line. That makes this point fix while resizing. Then set width and
height to get the desired second point of the line. If you want to keep the
direction of the line, check "Keep ratio" before entering new values.

C) Set snap points at the desired positions. Enable "Snap to Snap Guides". Now
you can drag each point of the line to a snap point where it is caught.

In case you have to work on points of a polyline:
Press F8 to switch into Point edit mode. Now you can click a point with the
mouse and drag it to the desired place, or use Ctrl+Tab and arrow keys.

For your special illustration you have in addition these options:

D) Do it in Calc and enter the line directly into the chart.

E) Use a Linear Regression line in Calc, directly in the chart, and set the
intersection to the desired start value.

I suggest "Works for me".
