Set the second color stop's position to 90%. Then, add the value that sets the gradient direction from bottom to top

what's wrong with the code?

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

.main-header{
  background-image: (to 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">

Not sure what u did with the 2nd task but u deleted 'linear-gradient' somehow. Also make sure u put a comma just after a word, then a space followed by the next word as it won't accept the task otherwise. (as u have steelblue ,darkslateblue)

.main-header{
  background-image: linear-gradient (to top, steelblue, darkslateblue 90%);
}

Good luck!
