Best rate of climb speed, also known as Vy, is the speed which allows the best gain in altitude over a given time. You fly this airspeed when you want to gain altitude fast but you don't have any obstacle you need to avoid.
Best angle of climb, also known as Vx, is the speed which allows best ramp climb performance. You gain the most altitude in the minimum distance. Usually this airspeed corresponds to 1,2 times the stall speed and we fly it when we need to clear obstacles.
Vx is always bigger or, at the minimum, equal to Vy.
