Answer:

it depends on what you're citing (read explanation)

Step-by-step explanation:

if its an article:cite the website you got the information from, the paragraph and line numbers that you got it from and the author of the article

if its a book: cite the page number paragraph the title of the book and author of the book.

if its something like Wikipedia (which most teachers wont accept as a source fyi) site the part of the page you got it from and if available, the person who wrote it in, and the link to the page
