(-2) - (+6) = -2 -6 = -8
The difference is one number subtracted from another number.
If you relate this question to the number line, it is easier to understand.
-l-----l-----l-----l-----l-----l-----l-----l-----l-----l-----l-----l-----l
-6...-5....-4....-3...-2....-1.....0...+1...+2...+3...+4...+5...+6
The "distance" between -2 and +6 is 8. But, the direction on the number line in which you are moving does change things. When we subtract +6 from -2, the answer is further to the left on the number line.
Plus +6 moves the answer to the right. Plus -6 moves the answer to the left. Similarly, minus +6 moves the answer to the left and minus -6 moves the answer to the right.

Since doing the subtraction is rather easy to do, am guessing you need help with the 'square' part of that. The square of a number is found by multiplying that number with itself. The square of negative six can be found by multiplying negative six with negative six. Negative six times negative six is positive thirty six. So, in other words, the square of negative six is positive thirty six.
