code challenge question

Can someone give me a suggestion for this code challenge?

Create a new rule that targets .main-header. Then, use the background-image property to define a linear gradient. Set the first color stop to steelblue and the second color stop to darkslateblue. Set the second color stop's position to 90%. Finally, add the value that sets the gradient direction from bottom to top.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-header {
  background-image:linear-gradient(and bottom top, steelblue, darkslateblue 90%);
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
            <p class="intro">
