The slope of a line parallel to another is the same as that of the original line. To find the slope of the given line, we first write it in slope-intercept form $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope. Rearranging $3x + 5y = 1$ gives $5y = -3x + 1$, and then $y = -\frac{3}{5}x + \frac{1}{5}$. Thus, the slope $m = -\frac{3}{5}$.
