My syntax will not read for this question.

The question asks to add a direction from bottom to top but I've tried to enter this command in many places. It will not read. What's the correct syntax for this question?

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-header{
  background-image:linear-gradient(bottom 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">
  </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.
            </p>
            <a class="callout" href="#more">Find out more</a>
        </div><!-- End .primary-content -->
  </body>
</html>

When specifying a direction you only need to indicate the end point. So in this case, the direction would be "to top". You can also indicate it as a compass point, in this case 0 degrees or "0deg".
