Draw cyclohexane in a chair conformation and leave lines where every bond can be formed. Now put substituents and the positions you want. This is meant to help you see see how cis and trans inherently tells you little about axial or equatorial. You need to visualize.
Notice, that if you have a 1,2 disubstituted cis cyclohexane, then one substituent will be axial and the other will be equatorial. If you have a 1,3 disubstituted cis cyclohexane they both will either be axial or equatorial. Continue playing with your drawing till this makes sense (or keep on drawing different rings, but show all the bonds until you can easily visualize them.)
Cis means they are on the same "side" of the ring. trans means they are on opposite "sides" of the ring. It does not inherently tell you axial or equatorial positions.
