Step 1 :We can write the expression as \(k(x, y) = -(x^{2} - 4x + 4) - (y^{2} - 4y + 4)\)
Step 2 :This simplifies to \(k(x, y) = -(x - 2)^{2} - (y - 2)^{2} + 4\)
Step 3 :Since \(x\) and \(y\) are both non-negative and their sum is less than or equal to 6, the minimum value of \(x - 2\) and \(y - 2\) is -2 and the maximum is 1.
Step 4 :Substituting these values into the equation, we find that the minimum value of \(k(x, y)\) is \(-((-2)^{2} + (-2)^{2} + 4) = -8\) and the maximum value is \(-(1^{2} + 1^{2} - 4) = 2\)
Step 5 :Thus, the minimum value of \(k\) is \(\boxed{-8}\) and the maximum value of \(k\) is \(\boxed{2}\)
