How can I straighten the shape line in the picture without losing the objects solid form? I usually use ctrl s and 0 to do it, but, that doesn't work in this case.

This is one way to do it, by using the 3D cursor.

$\begingroup$ Nice way, allows to skip creating edges (note that depending on selection you might need to use Selection to Cursor (Offset)). $\endgroup$– Mr ZakJun 19, 2016 at 14:24

$\begingroup$ Nice answer - this is the way I usually do it. I'll add that if one plans to do a lot of snap operations it might help to assign a shortcut to them. I use the following - Cursor to Selected: [ Selection to Cursor: ] Cursor to Grid: Shift [ Selection to Grid: Shift ] These can be assigned by right-clicking on the menu items. $\endgroup$ Jun 19, 2016 at 20:34

I think that the most simple and versatile method is to use a LoopTools addon and it's Relax feature. This way you can also straighten / relax / smooth multiple vertices which should be almost impossible with the 3D cursor solution above. For me this addon is a must-have for modeling anyway so I am sure you won't regret installing it.
This is some example of another usage of this feature:

You can double click G and slide the vertex all the way to one of the connecting vertices. then slide back where you need the vertex to be and you will have a straight line.
