/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
.main-header {
   background-image: linear-gradient(from bottom,steelblue,darkslateblue 90%);
}

You're close. You just got the syntax wrong on the gradient property. Instead of "from bottom" it should read "to top".

Try this...

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