Like a lot of things in poker this rule depends.
 
If you are only facing 1 player in a hand you can show a card to "scare" the person away from chasing their hand.
 
If on showdown you show only 1 card that shows you won the hand and the other player mucks you only have to show your other card if asked.  The dealer will NOT be the one to ask.  If no one asked then you can then muck your hand and take the pot.  Of course someone at the table can ask to see the loosing players cards at show down as well, but this is not ethical.  
 
Matter of a fact - you can just say you have a straight, if the other player mucks you win the hand, although if you are lying you can and most likely will be penalized harshly.  I've never done this, but I did this vs. a player that had QQ - I said I have an ace with a crappy kicker and he mucked his hand face up.  It was odd cause there was no ace on the board.  To be clear I then said "I don't have pocket aces I have ace high",  he said "what ever man".  The dealer slide the pot over to me and I never had to show my hand (i think he was drunk).
 
Cash game give a lot more freedom, but rules are different per casino house rules.
