Shiara blade has the correct idea, but her answer does not take into account that you are asking for a CIS bond structure. The portion around the molecule's cis bond is planar, so if you imagined your hand being the plane and you draw the double bond up and down in the middle of your hand, the rest of the molecule would be either to the left or the right of the double bond, NOT BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT. It would not be a branched structure!! By your description in your question, the molecule has to be a straight chain hydrocarbon. Shiara's formula indicates a branched structure, which is incorrect.
Hope this helps! :)
