New line in JS

I am not sure why Treehouse quiz is saying this is wrong. 

var escapedNewLine = "This is this a new line another 5\nnew line here";
var escapedBackslash = "This is C:\\file.txt";
var escapedTab = "This is \t a new line";

console.log(escapedNewLine);
console.log(escapedBackslash);
console.log(escapedTab);

It complains about the escapedNewLine. I think i'm correct.

Benjamin, It is looking for an answer like this:

var escapedNewLine = "\n";
var escapedBackslash = "\\";
var escapedTab = "\t";
