Start with the given logarithmic expression: \(\log_6 \frac{1}{\sqrt{m}}\).
Rewrite the fraction inside the logarithm as a product with a negative exponent: \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{m}} = m^{-\frac{1}{2}}\).
Apply the logarithm power property, which states \(\log_b (x^r) = r \log_b x\), to bring the exponent out in front: \(\log_6 (m^{-\frac{1}{2}}) = -\frac{1}{2} \log_6 m\).
Recognize that the negative sign indicates the reciprocal inside the logarithm, confirming the expression is equivalent to the original.
Thus, the expression is rewritten as \(-\frac{1}{2} \log_6 m\) using the power property of logarithms.
