The transform translate function

In the challenge I am on right now it asks me to move the element up 100% from its original space. I am typing: transform: translatey(-100%); and it says I'm wrong and to make sure I'm using the correct transform function. I'm not sure where I'm going wrong.

style.css 
/* overlay and img transitions ---------- */

.overlay,
img  {
    transition: transform .6s ease-out;
}

/* overlay and img transforms ---------- */

.photo:hover .overlay {
  transform: translate(-100px);
}
.photo:hover img {

}

I figured it out, I needed to capitalize the Y in translateY. I was typing translatey and it was showing it was incorrect. Also, when I posted this question I was trying anything else I thought might work. I know that translate(100%) will only affect the x-axis but I was hoping for at least something.
