Vy vs Vx

hello folks

i am a bit puzzled, maybe at one point in my career i knew this but know i dont really remember it, i guess that is what reviews are for!!
anyway i know for a fact that Vy the best rate of climb speed decreases with altitude while Vx the best climb angle speed increases with altitude.
What is the reason behind that?

many thanks even though i am not positive this is the right section where to post my question!!
