I don't know what background image property is needed for task 2

I enter the background image property with a gradient value and the answer is wrong not sure what task is asking for.

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

.main-header {
        background: linear-gradient(grey blue);
        background-image: url(), linear-gradient(to top red blue);

}
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">
                Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

        </div><!-- End .primary-content -->
  </body>
</html>

You are close! You were just missing a comma between the values in the linear gradient function! But actually for task 2 you don't even need any values in the linear gradient function.

.main-header {
  background-image: linear-gradient();
}

Make sure you're creating the gradient with a 'background-image' property. That is the message that keeps coming up I double checked my spelling, commas... just dont get what im missing:(
