Is it as simple as just ISA conversion for TAS/IAS ? I don't pretend to know the answer but a bit of quick research suggests its more complicated. A quick look at a 172 poh gave sea level and 10000 ft figures for Vx and Vy and those would be already in KIAS but I'm guessing that its a curve not a straight line between those two points and this is what the OP is looking to figure out.

Bit more here that helped me understand the question, if not the answer.
