Editing line features in QGIS can be done by following these steps:

Make sure that the Editing toolbar is enabled. You can turn this on under View > Toolbars.
Activate the layer containing the line feature by clicking on it in the Layers panel.
Make sure that the layer is in 'edit' mode by clicking Toggle Editing on the Layer menu.
Select the line feature that you wish to edit by selecting it in the Map Canvas.
Now you have many options for editing the feature. You can use Node Tool on the Digitizing toolbar to move and modify vertices of the feature or you can use Node Tool to add, delete and modify vertices. You can also use Split Feature or Merge Selected Features from the Advanced Digitizing toolbar.
To finalize your changes in the feature, you must save the layer by clicking Save Layer Edits on the Layer menu.

You can find more details about these tools and how to use them in the QGIS documentation: https://docs.qgis.org/3.12/en/docs/user_manual/
