Use the Scissors Tool C and line up the crosshairs right over where the lines intersect and then Click. New endpoints will appear on your new cut section see below :. You will see a new Path appear in the Layers Panel. Toggle the visibility of the Paths in the Layers Panel to see what you did see below :.
Now my Outlines on the artboard look like this see below :. You will again see a new Path appear in the Layers Panel. Toggle the visibility of the Paths in the Layers Panel to see what you did. Now use the Direct Selection Tool A to make a marquis around the two points of the two Paths that you want to join see below :.

Is the joined corner not quite right? That is what I said to cut as necessary. Use the Eraser tool to erase a small segment. This turns your circle shape into a line with two endpoints remember that circles are really just four anchor points connected.
After this, keep in mind that the stroke of the shape will only go around where the original shape was and you will need to connect the two end points to get a shape with a stroke on all sides.
If you give the shape a fill color, it will fill-in up to the two end points and create a straight line between them, no connecting the dots needed.
If you add a stroke now you would have a brush stroke around your converted line. If you already got the line width and style that you want this may be fine, but using the Eraser tool your line stays a line and you can still change the stroke size and brush if you need to.
Just gives you a little more control if you want it.
